GAIT Scholars are young black men in grades 6-12 who have excellent written and verbal communication skills, proven leadership abilities, and a clear trajectory for growth. To be a GAIT Scholar, the young man must have an opportunity for personal, academic, or career development on or around Capitol Hill. GAIT Scholars receive a day of informational interviews, networking opportunities, and a mentorship luncheon in Washington, DC. Applications open in the late spring for each summer session.
