Since its inception in 1988, a primary aim of the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute has been to develop a cadre of young leaders / scholars with a sense of community purpose, who would be committed to giving back for the betterment of their communities and nation. As they evolve into maturity, these potential leaders are expected to provide hope, direction, and vision for African-Americans and Latino-Americans in the 21st century. The Institute provides training designed to develop such cadres of brilliant minds from these groups who will possess a commitment to eliminating poverty and racism, and will inspire the masses to overcome conditions that impede their prosperity and pursuit of happiness. |

Founded in the summer of 1988, the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute is a nonprofit that provides exposure to science and technology, and with leadership, scholarship, community service, and entrepreneur training to high-achieving youth attending secondary schools. Housed at Princeton University, the private leadership development organization was established with the aim of solving some of society's most intractable problems - including poverty, urban decay, and dysfunctional family structures -not by attacking problems, but by strengthening the solution. Developing a cadre of knowledgeable leaders and activist scholars with a sense of community purpose is the focus of the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute. It provides training to equip them with the skill and confidence to function as activist scholars for change in their schools, local communities and the society at large.
