Its main objective is to increase the number of students from underrepresented minority groups who enroll and succeed in colleges and universities. The first class of Young Scholars, inducted as sixth graders in the spring of 1988, attended Ohio State or other colleges during the 1994-1995 academic year. Young Scholars are guaranteed admission to Ohio State, along with financial aid, if they successfully complete the program through high school graduation with a B average or better in a college preparatory curriculum. They come to the Columbus campus for two-week institutes each summer and take part in a variety of academic support activities in their hometowns throughout the year. There are also programs provided for their parents.
