High school seniors in Indianapolis can apply to network with influential mentors, earn scholarship money and grow their confidence in an upcoming program.
The Fever Confidence Program, named after the WNBA team, is seeking 15 to 20 participants for a multiweek experience that seeks to support mental health and inspire wellness among female-identifying students.
The program is put on by the Marion County Commission on Youth in partnership with Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
Participating students will have the opportunity to learn from leaders with the Pacers Sports & Entertainment organization as well as the Indiana Fever.
The program is expected to run from November 2025 to May 2026. Cohort members will meet monthly, typically on Saturdays. Those who complete the program will receive a $2,500 educational scholarship.
To be eligible, students must be a senior, live in Marion County or a surrounding county and have a GPA of at least 2.7. Applicants will also need to submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher, coach, pastor or other mentor.
Online applications are available at the Marion County Commission on Youth’s website. The deadline to apply is noon Oct. 17.
