- Every donation, no matter how modest, contributes to a greater good
Jacob’s Ladder does not end when summer camp ends. In fact, a goal of our summer program is to prepare kids to attend high schools (often private, boarding, independent etc) and colleges that specialize in stimulating them and jumpstarting their growth potential. Cathy Gregory is our High School Advocate and she stays in close contact with Climbers throughout their high school years. With in-person visits, academic advice/mentorship, and established connections to high schools/colleges, Cathy shines as a great resource for Climbers and their families. While going to any specific high school/college after the program is not a requirement, Jacob’s Ladder has a stellar track record of encouraging and supporting kids to match with schools that best fit their gifts and interests. The climb continues!
Some colleges and universities that Climbers currently attended or are graduates of include: Boston University, Brown University, Christopher Newport University, College of William & Mary, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Georgetown University, James Madison University, Old Dominion University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Smith College, Stanford University, University of Chicago, University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, University of Richmond, University of South Carolina, University of Texas, University of Virginia, and Yale University.
Since the start of Jacob's Ladder, more than $17.1 million in scholarships have been awarded to Climbers.
