The Curriculum & Selection Process
Our program offers a tailored curriculum to students who will be working with ambassadors and faculty from universities that have partnered with the Rising Fellowship to help students from all backgrounds learn how to better approach the application process and navigate college! For this reason, we have a holistic admissions approach that looks at all candidates’ applications through the lens of what they can bring to the progam and that can gain the most from the program. We recommend that all Seniors apply regardless of background, as the program is not tailored for students with only certain qualifications.
