EAGLE Scholars/AmeriCorps Internship Summer 2024
Vickery Meadow is a densely populated community right across the freeway from NorthPark Mall. Close to 30 languages are spoken in our EAGLE Scholars program. EAGLE Scholars was developed to provide 7th-12th grade students with an opportunity to fulfill their college aspirations. Students from Tasby Middle School apply and go through an interview process that includes an interview by an older EAGLE Scholar, an essay, and a teacher recommendation. Fifty to sixty new Scholars are chosen each year and, once in, they have the opportunity to stay in until they graduate from college. In the summers, we utilize an experiential learning approach by creating a range of experiences that incorporate academics, soft skills, careers, and cultural opportunities.
We are looking for creative thinkers and problem solvers with high academic skills who are passionate about education, seeing students succeed, are open-minded, and love learning!
Please be prepared to allow a significant amount of time to complete this application since the responses cannot be saved and require one section to be completed before moving on.
