Scholars to Leaders Programs


The David M. Rubenstein/Economic Club of Washington, D.C. Scholarship Program is one of the most significant private sector supporters of Washington area scholars.  Awards totaling nearly $1,000,000 in scholarships each year are presented to graduating high school seniors in select D.C. public and public charter schools as well as another $30,000 in fellowships granted to scholars pursuing graduate degrees.

Additionally, our Scholars to Leaders Mentor Program matches David M. Rubenstein scholarship winners with Economic Club members and volunteers from companies with executives who are Economic Club members. The executive mentors provide relevant support and guidance to help encourage successful college completion and prepare students for careers in their fields of interest.

Additional support for recipients of the scholarships is provided through paid summer internships geared towards rising college juniors and seniors. Acting as internship hosts, Economic Club Members provide Scholars with work experience in professional environments while earning salaries to help offset their college expenses.
