The mission of the FutureStar youth summit is to plant a seed for participants attending to help them understand the personal value of an education and possibly spark a desire to attend college. FutureStar invites 8th graders (public/private) from the various West Tennessee school
districts, to give them the opportunity to be on a college campus, explore different majors, and encourage them.
This is for 8th graders from “any” middle school (public/private) in West Tennessee. We hope their
experience at the Summit would plant a “seed” for these students attending that would help them understand the personal value of an education and would spark a desire in
them to attend college.
We are looking for students who “need the extra push” to reach their potential. These are students who may not have been on a college campus before, those who need extra support from home and those who need the extra encouragement for success. We are able to offer this “free of charge” with the financial support of WestStar alumni from that county that the child resides in. Sponsorship is $50 per child.
WestStar suggests that each middle school select no more than two (2) students to attend in order to encourage higher interaction among the students from different schools. This will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
