THINK ONE 11TH GRADER CAN CHANGE THE WORLD?
Us too.
SEGL is a study-away program for high school juniors.
Our mission is to provide intellectually motivated high school juniors who represent the diversity of the United States with the best possible opportunity to shape themselves into ethical leaders who create positive change in our world.
Our students come from across the country and globe. They have beliefs spanning left, right, and center. They are tomorrow's politicians and poets, physicians and physicists.
Around half of students are on financial aid, and around half of students and faculty identify as people of color.
They all belong at SEGL, and so do you.
