Extended Learning Opportunities

Successful Bezos Scholars are passionate, intellectually curious young people who are rising leaders in their schools and communities. They are interested in personal and intellectual growth, practice reflection, demonstrate a strong work ethic and communicate clearly. We favor students who engage with their communities, pursue their passions in substantive ways and are interested in serving others. Competitive applicants show us their commitment to both learning and equity. Standout candidates articulate how our program would help them achieve their personal and professional goals. 

Applications are due January 25, 2024. More information can be found at www.bezosscholars.org/lead including school and student eligibility requirements, biographies of previous Scholars, and examples of the incredible student-led projects Scholars have launched to improve their community.
