The purpose of the Young Scholars Program (YSP) is to prepare first generation minority students to be academically ready to pursue higher education. If after completing the five years (grades 8 through 12) in the YSP the student chooses to attend Sinclair, his/her tuition and books will be completely funded. Currently in its ninth year, students in the YSP participate in ten 2-hour Saturday sessions (March through May). The focus is on setting realistic career goals and finding the means to achieve those goals through workshops and seminars. A sampling of topics include: creative thinking, managing time, setting priorities, developing family support, building communication skill, choosing careers, information technology, and becoming a master student. The Sinclair Foundation, the Admissions Office, and a private donor fund the program.
