This March we received the exciting news that our Scholar, Madison, was chosen to participate in Disney Dreamers Academy at Walt Disney World!
Every year the program receives thousands of applications from across the country but only accepts 100 students. A few key elements that make a potential Dreamer stand out include intellectual curiosity, a love for learning and creativity, compassion, facing obstacles with poise and maturity, a generous spirit and optimism about the future.
Each spring, 100 exceptional young people arrive at the Disney Dreamers Academy with ambition, excitement and hopes for the future. The Disney Dreamers will return home with the motivation, guidance and skills to help make those dreams come true. - Learn About Disney Dreamers Academy
