Program areas at Oliver Scholars

Scholar services: once our Scholars matriculate at competitive high schools, they continue to receive support from The Oliver Scholars scholar services team. Every scholar attending an independent boarding school receives 1-2 on-campus visits from a member of our team. We monitor how students are adjusting academically and socially and meet with school officials to ensure that students have The support they need to thrive. Our public high school Scholars attend programming once a month to stay connected and receive The same academic and social support as their independent school cohorts. Signature activities include an annual community service day and our annual student conference, in our own voices. Additionally, our high school students and their families receive ongoing college counseling, college visits, college essay reviews, and financial aid guidance. And we continue to support them via access to internships and mentors once they matriculate at college - where we continue to provide financial aid and transfer support.
Admissions & placement: our admissions and placement Program is focused on developing trusting relationships with middle schools and community-based organizations across The five boroughs of new york city to identify high-achieving black and latinx 7th graders for participation in The Oliver Scholars Program. Once admitted, these students have access to our signature scholar immersion Program and high school admissions support for independent day and boarding schools and competitive public high schools. We host admissions information sessions across The city to educate families about The educational options available to their high potential students. And we develop strong partnership relationships with our independent consortium schools to ensure our Scholars have The support and financial aid they need to succeed in high school.
Scholar immersion Program: The scholar immersion Program, also known as sip, is a 14-month academic and social enrichment Program intended to give students The academic, study, and social skills they will need to be successful at rigorous high schools. Students attend The Program for two 56-week summer sessions and a year of saturday classes. The summer Program includes one-week of residential programming at a partner boarding school to give students exposure to that experience and to deepen connections across their cohorts.
The goal of The college bound initiatives department is to lead The college search and application process, inspire Scholars to seek "best fit" colleges, collaborate with independent school counselors, educate and prepare families for The transition to college. While Scholars receive intensive support specifically geared toward preparing them for The college application process beginning in their junior year, Oliver is intentional in creating a college-going culture and building college readiness skills beginning in middle school through high school.
