The All-In Milwaukee Scholar Journey transforms potential into success. From high school through college graduation, scholars receive the financial support, academic guidance, and career development they need to thrive.
Each scholar is paired with a dedicated advisor and joins a vibrant community driven to complete college and launch meaningful careers in Milwaukee. Through our dynamic seasonal institutes and hands-on career experiences, scholars gain the skills, confidence, and connections to lead in our city.
All-In Milwaukee partners with high school counselors and community organizations to identify eligible students.
Most nominees come through Pathway Partners, but any eligible Milwaukee senior can request an application link.
The scholar application opens in November and is due in mid-February. Selections are announced by April and scholars must accept by May 1.
In the most recent cycle, All-In Milwaukee worked with a total of more than 60 Milwaukee high schools, including Milwaukee Public Schools, private and charter schools, to select an incoming class of 185 scholars in Spring 2025. All-In Milwaukee intends to accept 200 scholars in Spring 2026.
In May, all new All-In Milwaukee scholars attend an orientation session, where they are provided a syllabus that maps out the next four years and sets expectations.
New scholars, along with continuing All-In Milwaukee scholars, attend summer socials to better connect with each other and the members of Milwaukee’s community who help fund their education.
In August, new scholars and continuing scholars gather for the Summer Institute, where they attend presentations that focus on the four key pillars of the AIM model: financial aid and literacy, academics, socio-emotional wellness, and career-readiness. AIM also hosts its annual Career Fair in August – a unique event for its scholars to meet and network AIM Career Partners who are seeking individuals for both internships and full-time positions.
New scholars will attend socials with continuing scholars on their campus to build community among All-In scholars at each University Partner.
All scholars attend the Winter Institute in January, with more information about social and emotional well-being, mental health and professional development.
Graduating seniors attend a retreat, where they learn more about life and professional skills such as how to read and respond to a job offer letter, how to ask for a raise and how to resolve workplace conflicts.
Graduating seniors attend a graduation celebrations.
Scholars participate in intentional experiences during the summer including study abroad programs, research opportunities, and summer classes to continue their college studies and stay on track to graduate.
