Since 2010, this Annual Fundraiser has raised critical funds in support of our mission to develop the academic and leadership potential of gifted, under-represented and under-served young people. All proceeds support our tuition-free, intensive program of academic enrichment; leadership and life-skill development; as well as sustained support for the entire family.

These services are offered to families at 0 cost,
so ES is 100% privately funded by those who are committed to social change through educational access.

Our 2024 Honoree

I support Emerging Scholars because it provides one more important piece to the puzzle of how we support those most deserving of a quality education, despite their financial challenges."
