Our Mission

We will assist public middle and high school students in Forsyth County in preparing themselves for successful college enrollment.

Our Vision

We seek to ensure that every public school student in Forsyth County has the opportunity to attend college.

Now that you’re in high school, are you wondering how Crosby Scholars helps you?

We asked the Cruzat sisters to share some of their insights into the program. All four sisters attended or attend Early College and serve or have served as Crosby Scholars officers.

• “Since I am the oldest sibling, I was the first one to try and navigate the craziness of college admissions - Crosby Scholars was tremendously helpful in guiding me through the process. There were a lot of great classes that helped me start thinking about how I should be thinking about things like time management and how to do well in school and leadership.”--Marianne graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill
• “The college tours helped a lot. Early on, in middle school, Crosby ingrained in us to get involved in the community and do service work. Doing that at an early age and through high school prepares you to have a service mindset and service attitude. I learned about the important work that different organizations in Winston-Salem were doing.”--Maria just graduated from UNC Charlotte
• “I didn’t realize I needed someone to help guide me through the whole process and time management. I realized through him (Near Peer Advisor Blaine Pugh) I was doing way too much. He helped me work through that and manage my time better and analyze what is most important and how I can better use my time, like the clubs I had leadership positions in. He helped me realize I needed time to myself.”--Monica second year at UNC Chapel Hill
