GMS Online Communities
As a reminder, there are a number of GMS online programs to inform, engage and deepen relationships within the prospective Gates Millennium Scholar community. Students in the 8th- 11th grade can register as a prospective scholar to better prepare him/her for our nomination process. This is done by going to www.imaginegms.org.
What is the Gates Millennium Scholars Program?
The Gates Millennium Scholars Program (GMS), was established in 1999 by a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to UNCF (the United Negro College Fund) the nation’s largest and most effective minority education organization. The goal of GMS is to educate “Leaders for America’s Future”™ by providing eligible students with the opportunity to complete an undergraduate college education in the discipline of their choice and continue through to a doctoral degree in seven GMS funded fields.
