LEAD is a college preparation and motivation program developed by Northeastern University especially for Boston Public High School and METCO seniors to provide support with the college admissions process. We have 45 spaces for LEAD participants this year at Northeastern.

LEAD is a college motivation and support program with two outreach initiatives for BPS high school students: 1) weekly mentoring and teaching sessions for BPS seniors on campus at NU to support the college admissions process, and 2) in-school support, where NU students work in the classroom.

Beginning with the college essay and building a college list, and ending with scholarship applications, LEAD will teach Boston high school seniors the strategies needed for a successful college application. Each high school student is paired with a Northeastern student mentor who is trained to assist with the college process. As a LEAD participant, you will benefit from small group teaching, mentoring, and a detailed curriculum to effectively master the college application process from start to finish.
