Established in 2006, the Kaplan Leadership Program helps
high-potential, low-income and underrepresented community college
students complete their associate's degree, successfully transfer
and go on to earn a four-year bachelor's degree at the nation's
most highly-selective schools. The program focuses on a holistic
approach – providing extensive tutoring, academic advisement
services, leadership and career training, stipends for living
expenses, and other resources and support to help them expand their
personal goals, and eventually attain leadership roles in their
professions and communities.
Since KEF’s inception, Kaplan Leadership Scholars – primarily
first-generation college students – have consistently earned
admission to the country’s most competitive schools; 92 percent of
Kaplan Scholars have earned a bachelor’s degree.
College acceptances for the 2023 Kaplan Leadership Scholars are
as follows:
- Bernice Agyeiwaa, Bronx Community College - Smith College
- Fatima Bah, Hostos Community College - Cornell University
- Yassine Gaye, Hostos Community College - Princeton

- Jose González, Hostos Community College - Rice University
- Junaid Ilyas, Union College - Rutgers University
- Rubi Larancuent, Bronx Community College, Princeton

- Andre Watson, Hostos Community College - Yale University

Students also received acceptances from Brown University,
Claremont McKenna College and Northwestern University.
"As the recent affirmative action ruling will make it more
challenging for selective colleges and universities to attract
underrepresented students, the transformative work of KEF becomes
more important and relevant than ever," says Nolvia Delgado,
Executive Director of KEF. "We're thrilled to celebrate the
achievements of our students at this time, who continue to build on
our scholars’ strong legacy of success."
She notes, "This year’s cohort continues to represent the wide
diversity that exists in U.S. community colleges, including
non-traditional age students, recent immigrants, first-generation
and ESL learners, and students pursuing degrees in education, STEM,
computer science, medicine, law and other fields. We’re excited to
continue to remove barriers and provide greater access to higher
education for talented, motivated individuals."
