Students from across the Concept Schools network collectively celebrate an awe-inspiring, monumental achievement. In addition to acceptance to more than 70 different colleges and universities throughout the United States, the Class of 2026 earned more than $80 million in scholarships and awards.
Representing more than 40 schools across seven states, these young scholars will continue their academic journeys at prestigious schools of varied concentrations, ranging from leading public universities and private colleges to highly selective research institutions.
More Than a Number
Earning a college degree is, in and of itself, a feat of passion for education as well as a commitment towards improving oneself to gain knowledge of a particular field of study.
To some, understanding the path to college acceptance can be as challenging as answering the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, and it may feel daunting to realize that higher education requires a considerable economic investment.
Guiding Students Toward Success
Success is measured not only by college acceptances, but by the opportunities students earn to pursue their futures with confidence. Through the guidance and support provided by the Future Institute, students are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and encouragement needed to navigate important decisions about their education and career pathways. This commitment helps ensure that graduates are prepared to take advantage of the opportunities they have worked so hard to achieve.
“Each scholarship earned by Concept Schools students proves that they are ready and able to compete with the best of the best, as they were prepared by teams of educators and an entire community who pushed them to achieve their greatest potential."
- Sam Davis, Executive Director of the Future Institute.
As impressive as that dollar amount may be, it is even more so when paired in conjunction with the institutes that both accepted and awarded our students. Of all of our eligible graduates, more than 90% completed the application process for their chosen college or university, with many of them gaining acceptance to their primary selection.
Notable College Acceptance
While graduation marks the end of one chapter, it also marks the beginning of an exciting new journey. The members of the Class of 2026 will continue pursuing their goals at colleges and universities across the country, carrying with them the knowledge, experiences, and determination that helped them reach this milestone.
Staying Connected
As they take the next step toward their futures, graduates remain connected through the Concept Schools Alumni Network, a community that encourages continued engagement, support, and the celebration of achievements long after commencement day.
The scholarships, awards, and college acceptances earned by the Class of 2026 represent years of hard work, perseverance, and commitment to academic excellence. As they begin the next chapter of their educational journeys, these graduates carry with them the skills, resilience, and determination that have defined their success thus far. Their accomplishments today serve as the foundation for the contributions they will make tomorrow.
We congratulate these outstanding graduates on their remarkable achievements and look forward to seeing the impact they will make on their campuses, in their professions, and in their communities.
