Education Week – Diette Courrege
“A new scholarship program launched this summer by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth will give bright, low-income rural students the chance to take part in a challenging summer program at sites across the country. Rural Connections will give full scholarships during the next three years to more than 120 rural 7th-, 8th- and 9th-graders to attend three-week residential summer programs at one of 24 sites. Students also will receive supplemental academic and peer support after the program.” (more)
