• About YPIE Scholars Program: The YPIE Scholars program prepares students for success in college and careers in the future. Beginning in 9th grade and continuing into college, YPIE Scholars are a community of students preparing for college, navigating the college application process, and successfully transitioning to college and beyond. Each YPIE Scholar will develop an individual learning plan -- a YPIE Blueprint -- for the year and beyond, with the help of their YPIE College Readiness Manager. YPIE Scholars put in the hard work after school at the YPIE College Zone to become academically ready for college. They also receive coaching and support from YPIE staff based in their schools and adult mentors from our community.
