Oliver Scholar Initiatives:
The Oliver Scholars journey commences with the recruitment of highly motivated seventh-grade candidates from public and parochial schools in New York City. Our 14-month Scholar Immersion and Placement (SIP) program culminates with placement in ninth grade at high-performing NYC independent college preparatory day schools and boarding schools nationwide. SIP's curriculum mirrors that of a typical independent school.

The Foundation’s summer programs, tailored to support rising eighth-grade students, encompass test preparation, application support, and ongoing academic enrichment. Summer Program II, the capstone program for SIP, readies students for the academic rigor of independent schools.

Oliver Scholars offers high-achieving Black and Latinx students an alternative path, elevating their aspirations and fostering the development of the next generation of change-makers, thought leaders, and trailblazers. Our commitment extends to up to ten years of one-on-one support, summer coursework, and pre-career training, ensuring enduring success.
