The Institute for Responsible Citizenship is an intensive leadership program for America’s best and brightest African-American male college students. Our mission is to prepare men to be exemplary citizens and leaders. We inspire them to pursue extraordinary career success, not simply for their benefit, but as a platform from which they can serve others.

* Rigorous academic seminars

* High-level internships around Washington, DC
* Activities that promote strong bonds with each other
Program Details

You must be a college sophomore to apply. The Institute does not have a GPA requirement. However, the median GPA for recent classes is 3.65. An applicant's GPA is not the only criterion that is evaluated during the admissions process. Campus involvement, awards earned, athletics, and volunteer work are also important factors.
