The EmpowerU Scholars Society proudly offers its college tours as an A+ experience that introduces scholars to a range of college and university environments. The tour provides scholars with firsthand experiences that increase awareness of postsecondary options, highlight the benefits of college attendance, and support informed decision-making about academic pathways and future careers.
Today, more than ever, education is a gateway to opportunity, and college learning is essential to individual prosperity and economic stability. Colleges and universities serve as engines of access and excellence, attracting diverse, high-achieving students and producing graduates who are well prepared to lead, contribute, and thrive. These institutions are especially critical in supporting students from economically disadvantaged and historically underrepresented communities through high-quality instruction, engaged faculty, and intentional student success practices.
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled as a high school sophomore, junior or senior in a public, private, or homeschool cooperative in the Dallas and Forth Metroplex
- Must have a 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher
Leadership & Service
Uncover your leadership potential.
EmpowerU Scholars Society is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders from various geographic, ethnic, and economic segments of the DFW community.
Our Scholars are empowered to become engaged citizens and principled leaders. By combining leadership through real-world civic engagement, we equip the next generation of leaders to lead with integrity, purpose, confidence, and a commitment to community impact.
At EmpowerU, we believe “exposure creates belief.” Thus, EmpowerU Leadership provides the opportunity for high school juniors to develop their leadership skills by participating in monthly sessions designed to give them an in-depth look at government, corporate, and nonprofit operations, community issues, civic engagement, and social services across the DFW.
