DuBois Scholars Institute provides leadership, scholarship, community service, and entrepreneur training along with exposure to science and technology for high-achieving youth attending secondary schools. It was founded with an aim to develop a cadre of brilliant leaders/activist scholars with a commitment to contributing their talents for the betterment of others by solving major problems facing our society. Each summer at Princeton University, we convene a body of talented middle- and high school students from around the country, and in some cases throughout the world. These students participate in a five week-long rigorous academic and residential program. Students partake in advanced, college-level coursework in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, communication and arts taught by university professors, post-doctoral fellows, and doctoral candidates. About the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute: Since its inception in 1988, the mission of the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute has been to develop a cadre of leaders/scholars with a commitment to eliminate poverty, racism, and inspire hope in communities that have experienced historical barriers to achievement and opportunity. Our goal is to produce leaders that are committed to engaging their talents in the study of complex problems and to the prospect of contributing their abilities to the betterment of others. In keeping with the teachings of W.E.B. DuBois, we believe that the most effective leadership will come from our best and brightest minds. Recognizing that high achieving youth most likely will be the future problem solvers, they are the best sources of hope.
