Welcome!

The Leland Scholars Program (LSP) facilitates the transition to college for incoming Stanford frosh who may be the first in their families to attend college, attended under-resourced high schools, or are from low-income backgrounds.  The program starts with a four week summer bridge program in August, and continues with a first-year seminar, advising, and ongoing events throughout your time at Stanford!

Sergio Romero, LSP Cohort VII

"I am extremely grateful to have been a part of this program. It has allowed me to really get a feel of what life at Stanford will be like. I have learned a lot and I hope to apply it all to the school year in two weeks. I am excited and looking forward to these next 4 years. I understand things will be difficult but know that its part of the process."
