Undergraduate Evelyn De La Rosa discusses her experience with the Transfer Scholars Network, a new program aimed at providing community college students with a pathway to four-year universities. De La Rosa notes that before she was nominated for the program, “MIT wasn’t on the market for me. I wouldn’t have applied because I would have thought that it was out of reach.” Stuart Schmill, dean of admissions and student financial services, says of MIT’s participation in the program, “We want to be as accessible as we can. The education is better for our students the more diverse the population is. We want to educate the best students from everywhere, from all backgrounds.”
