LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - The Campbell Scholars Program (CSP) is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of supporting low-income, high-achieving first-generation students from Title I schools along their college and career pathways. The program, which provides resources, learning experiences, and opportunities similar to those of Campbell Hall independent school, serves students from 6th grade through college graduation.
The program began in the summer of 2014 as the Summer Enrichment Pilot Program. It started with a group of 6th graders from Title I schools in the San Fernando Valley, who, despite limited exposure to Campbell Hall, dedicated their summer to the initiative. John Rue, the founding Executive Director, noted that by the end of the summer, all participants agreed it was one of the best decisions they had made.
Over the past decade, CSP has supported over 200 scholars and families, emphasizing a growth mindset, wellness, and a sense of belonging. "This program is a beautiful example of how Campbell Hall can be a civic institution," said Rue. The program has been supported by more than 300 members of the Campbell Hall community, including faculty, staff, alumni, current parents, and parents of alumni, along with over a dozen private foundations.
Key achievements include:
Impacting 204 scholars and their families.
Ensuring that 100% of scholars are first-generation college aspirants.
Achieving a 95% rate of college scholars receiving full-tuition scholarships.
Providing 577 hours of support to one scholar over ten years.
