The Full Circle Scholars Program was founded by a group of professionals inspired by their transformative experience in the Young Scholars Program led by the late Ms. Jacqueline Rushing.

We are built on lifelong bonds and a shared commitment to giving back. We believe in legacy in action—returning to uplift the next generation with the support that helped shape our own paths.

At Full Circle Scholars, we help Black and Brown high school students see what’s possible and know they belong in any room they step foot in.

We aim to empower these students with culturally grounded mentorship, transformative college tour experiences, life skills, and access to college and career readiness opportunities that support long-term success.

Many students have the potential to thrive beyond high school, but lack guidance and mentorship from those who understand their lived experiences. Full Circle Scholars exists to bridge that gap.
