This week’s Temple Future Scholars Welcome Celebration for Cohort 2 was filled with joy, pride and community as we officially welcomed a new group of scholars and families into the program.

Temple Future Scholars is a college pipeline program created through a partnership between the School District of Philadelphia, Heights Philadelphia and Temple University to support low-income, first-generation-to-college students from Philadelphia public schools. Beginning in middle school, students receive year-round academic support, mentorship, college and career readiness programming, and opportunities to envision themselves on a path to higher education.

As these students begin their journey, with Owl Camp starting July 6 on Temple’s campus, it was inspiring to see them surrounded by families, mentors and supporters already cheering them on every step of the way.

Temple University's College of Education and Human Development is proud to be part of this work and excited to welcome Cohort 2. We look forward to all they will accomplish in the years ahead. Welcome, again, to the Owl’s Nest, scholars!
