The Simon Scholars Program (SSP) is a comprehensive program designed to guide students through their high school and college years and beyond as alumni. More than just a scholarship, SSP utilizes a relationship-based approach focused on college access and success, emphasizing youth leadership development, and providing lifelong support from junior year to professional career. Throughout the program, scholars engage in meaningful experiences aimed at fostering personal and professional growth. Our intentional approach ensures scholars receive the guidance and support necessary to achieve the ultimate goal: entering a meaningful and impactful career.
