Signature Programs
Gil and Jacki Cisneros' original vision to help students apply to and succeed in a college environment has grown to include a series of signature programs tailored to amplify the success of scholars at the pre-college, undergraduate, graduate, early career, and executive levels.
Caminos al Futuro
Caminos al Futuro is a fully funded, pre-college and residential summer program led by George Washington University's Cisneros Institute. To be eligible, you must be a rising senior at a U.S. high school with a high-level of academic achievement and a demonstrated commitment to leadership and service.
Cisneros Scholars
Every year, approximately 10 students are chosen from the incoming class at GW to be Cisneros scholars based on academic achievement, demonstrated commitment to service, and potential for leadership.
Foundations of Leadership
The Cisneros Institute works with nonprofit, government, and corporate partners to create and implement leadership and professional development programs grounded in academic research and customized to best practices for their organizations and industries.
"There really is no one mold for a Cisneros Scholar; I believe that it is our dedication to academics and community service that distinguishes us from other students."
