Cecil B. Moore Scholars Program
Temple’s Cecil B. Moore Scholars Program creates an academic pathway for Philadelphia public (district or charter) students living in our neighboring North Philadelphia ZIP codes—19121, 19122, 19123, 19125, 19130, 19132, 19133 and 19140. The program is named after Cecil B. Moore, a renowned civil rights activist in Philadelphia and Temple alumnus.
The Cecil B. Moore Scholars Program partners with Steppingstone Scholars to provide academic support to high school seniors selected to take the dual enrollment course. It also creates success-based advising and enrichment initiatives to support BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) and low-income students.
The program will
provide students coordinated pre-college preparation,
admit selected students in cohorts for focused campus advising and mentoring, and
award scholarships that cover full tuition at Temple.
