The nationally acclaimed Veritas Preparatory Program and Veritas Debate Institute are offering full scholarships for up to 25 high-achieving FCPS rising students in grades 7-12 to participate in a gifted study program that prepares them for a summer residential program at Harvard University. Scholarships are sponsored by the UPS Foundation, The Coca-Cola Company, and the Steve Harvey Foundation.
Grades 7-8: Veritas Prep is a weekly out-of-school gifted study program for 7th-8th-grade students who are prepared to be challenged beyond what’s taught in traditional school. Veritas Prep provides early exposure to college-level skills and liberal arts subjects that accelerate reading, critical thinking, and public speaking skills. Veritas Prep feeds into the Veritas Debate Institute, which culminates with a summer residential program at Harvard University.
Grades 9-12: Veritas Debate Institute (VDI) is a weekly out-of-school gifted study program for 9th-12th-graders that teaches college-level skills and subjects, including philosophy, political science, economics, debate, and more. Students train for one year in preparation for a summer residential debate program at Harvard University, where they study and compete alongside hundreds of gifted and talented youth from across the globe.
Eligibility: Veritas is a multicultural program open to all students regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic background. Veritas targets high-achieving students with a strong interest in the social sciences (politics, history, law, humanities, debate, public speaking, etc) and have aspirations to attend the top-ranked colleges & universities in the world.
For nearly a decade, Veritas has earned national recognition for producing many of the top-performing students in the world and placing hundreds of youth on a pathway to Ivy League and elite colleges. You can learn more about Veritas here.
As Veritas expands to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area this year, FCPS has been selected as a partner district to help identify high-achieving students.
On Thursday, May 21st at 7:00 PM, an informational webinar will be held exclusively for rising 7th and 12th-grade students and parents in FCPS to learn more about Veritas and the application process. You will have an opportunity to meet Veritas leadership and ask questions about the program.
