Grade 11
Juniors
Welcome to the Crosby Scholars Junior Program, where our focus narrows significantly onto the details of the college admission process. In the fall, 11th grades students will attend their Fall Junior Academy. The focus of Junior Academy is learning about the college application process and what Scholars should focus on their 11th grade year with the goal of attending a 2- or 4-year college. Juniors are advised to attend a college fair, begin campus visits at schools that interest them, and discuss their plans with their school counselor.
In the spring, 11th Graders will attend the Think Like a Senior session. The focus of TLS is getting ahead in the college application process.
Scholars who completed the Program in 10th grade are automatically enrolled in the program for their junior year. There is not an application for the junior year. Students must enroll in the Program by the beginning of their sophomore year of high school. (Exceptions may be made for newly enrolled students in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System. Contact the Crosby Scholars CEO and President by October 1 of the junior year for more information.)

Think Like a Senior Sessions
THINK LIKE A SENIOR (TLS) PROGRAM
During the Spring semester, Crosby Scholars Juniors attend one (1) mandatory Think Like a Senior (TLS) program. The focus of TLS is getting ahead in the college application process.
Scholars will learn about and complete tasks (such as resumes, letters of recommendation, building a target list) in the spring that will help them be ahead for the fall of senior year.
This Program is a Junior requirement: All Crosby Scholars Juniors are required to attend 1 Think Like a Senior event.
Parents: Given the significant role they play in the college journey, parents are strongly encouraged to participate in the session along with their student; however, parents cannot participate and earn TLS credit on a student’s behalf.

During Think Like a Senior, you will learn about the Crosby Scholars Senior Program requirements and how Crosby Scholars will help you through the college admission and financial aid process–including your enrollment decision!
