The
Institute for Responsible
Citizenship:
The Institute for Responsible Citizenship is an intensive
leadership program for America’s best and brightest African-American male
college students. Our mission is to prepare men to be exemplary citizens and
leaders. We inspire them to pursue extraordinary career success, not simply for
their benefit, but as a platform from which they can serve others.
You must be a college
sophomore to apply. The Institute does not have a GPA requirement.
However, the median GPA for recent classes is 3.65. An applicant's GPA is not
the only criterion that is evaluated during the admissions process. Campus
involvement, awards earned, athletics, and volunteer work are also important
factors.
The application deadline for the Washington program is Friday,
