Atlas Scholars provides motivated students with mentorship, scholarships, and exposure to the energy and finance industry in a performance-based environment.
Each year, a group of high school students actively participate in an energy/finance focused professional development program consisting of team projects, industry-leading guest speakers, field trips, mentorship, college preparation, and scholarships.
Recruitment is focused on top performing students from the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Applicants endure a highly competitive selection process consisting of essays, teacher recommendations, and interviews. Since inception in 2013, Atlas Scholars has taken six classes of students.
Once accepted, students are a part of a dynamic three year program consisting of three one-month summer sessions and year-round mentoring. The program connects students with industry leaders and exposes them to high-pressure, performance-based environments.
Students go on to become leaders at their high schools and universities.
