EPLN Rising Scholars
The El Paso Leadership Network Scholar's program is a free curriculum-based mentorship program designed for providing resources and guidance to El Paso high school Juniors and Seniors. The college readiness component includes a timeline based curriculum. The mentorship component consists of pairing high school students with college students or young professionals in their dream universities, industries, or with a common background. Members are encouraged to participate in both components of the program, but can request to only participate in one.
​
EPLN Rising Scholars intends to provide future generations of El Pasoans with the educational tools and literacy to succeed in the United States' academic system. We aim to provide guidance and resources to all students regardless of academic standing to support young El Pasoans in reaching their goals and navigating the transition to college or the workforce.
Being part of EPLN has taught me that I am capable of receiving a holistic education. I have been provided with the personal support necessary to facilitate my success beyond high school.
