Oliver Scholars

The mission of the Oliver Scholars Program is to identify and engage extraordinary New York City students of African and Latino descent and prepare them for success at leading independent high schools and prestigious colleges. Our community of educators, mentors and peers encourages and promotes scholarship, service and leadership throughout the student's educational career. We provide crucial support for both the Scholars and their families to address the challenges of this transformative journey.

The Oliver Scholars Program accepts nominations of highly motivated 7th Grade students from schools and community based organizations in our target population within New York City's five boroughs. We work diligently with each of our Scholars and their families, offering a unique combination of educational techniques and support services designed to meet their evolving needs.
