Adelante! is a comprehensive (academic and co-curricular) two-year leadership program for students interested in Latina/o issues. Scholars receive intensive guidance from professors, staff, and peer success coaches to ensure that they reach their academic and career goals. They receive exclusive access to networking and leadership opportunities on and off campus. As a result of their participation, scholars earn scholarships, internships, on-campus jobs, and other special opportunities.
Three ways to become an Adelante scholar
