Hidden Figures Scholarship

Lawrence Tech has partnered with five Detroit and Southfield high schools to identify promising students in areas
with barriers to higher education. Students in this program will be dually-enrolled during their junior and senior
years of high school, taking transferable credits in algebra, science, pre-calculus, biology and more.

They will also be enrolled in cohorts of four; each student will have a designated sponsor and dedicated LTU
mentor, and attend bi-weekly meetings and/or tutoring sessions. An annual scholarship retreat with the student’s
sponsor and mentor along with specialized concentrations and custom-designed academic plans will increase the
chances for success.

Students will also serve as peer-to-peer mentors for subsequent cohorts, developing crucial leadership skills;
guaranteed internships, high-level research experience, and career placement will be provided by the program’s
dedicated network.

The scholarship is named after Dr. Richard Marburger, a visionary leader who served as LTU’s president from 1977-
93. He championed equal access for all students and laid the groundwork for significant investment in our
scholarship endowments.
