The Black InGenius Initiative will be a college access and early literacy program annually serving a cohort of 60 Black students starting in fall 2023.
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Foundation and University of San Diego Thursday announced they have partnered to fund and operate the Black InGenius Initiative, intended to prepare more Black secondary students for college, pay for college needs and create a center focused on supporting neurodivergent students for all San Diego educators.
Each year, a new sixth grade cohort will be added to the program, with 420 students anticipated to participate by 2030. For students who complete seven years of participation in the initiative and are accepted to USD, the university will meet 100% of the"federally demonstrated financial need" of the student with a personalized financial assistance package.
USD will provide students in the BiGi program with academic support delivered by faculty and students trained in neurodivergent teaching -- or the idea that"since people experience and interact with the world around them in different ways, there is no one"right" way of thinking, learning or behaving," the statement reads.
