Last week, Dr. Janet Morrison-Lane and Briana Barron, one of our Scholar grads currently attending SMU on an almost full-ride, made their voices heard by traveling to Washington D.C. and participating in the two-day National College Attainment Network (NCAN) Leadership Conference.

Each year we gather to celebrate our current senior class’ accomplishments in their college journey. This evening is filled with joy, pride, and a nervous excitement for their next phase in life.

When Alejandra Salazar first joined EAGLE Scholars in sixth grade, college felt like a distant dream. Now a neuroscience major at UT Dallas, she credits the program for opening doors she never imagined.
