BECOME A SCHOLAR
WHAT IS A YES SCHOLAR?
YES Scholars are scholar-athletes in the YES Mentorship Program. Once accepted into the program, a scholar is connected with a mentor who is their one-on-one guide through the entire college process.
Through our mentorship program, scholars follow the YES System for Success: a digital planner that helps scholars set, organize, track and achieve their goals.
​
Our goal is to empower YES Scholars to leverage their college experience to find success in life.
​
IT IS 100% FREE TO BE A YES SCHOLAR.
