(3) PLANO YOUTH LEADERSHIP Plano Youth Leadership (PYL) is now accepting applications for its 2012-2013 (Class 18) leadership program. Students currently enrolled in the 9th grade and are planning to enter the 10th grade during the 2012-2013 school years are eligible to apply, if they reside in the area served by the Plano Independent School District (PISD) regardless of whether the youth attend public or private schools or are home schooled. PYL provides student training in leadership techniques and community awareness to help prepare them to make positive impacts on the quality of life of the community. Through a series of monthly class sessions, running concurrently with the school year, students develop the confidence and knowledge they need to succeed in leadership positions while learning about service opportunities in the community. Plano Youth Leadership is designed for 10th grade students at a time in their personal growth where they are developing an interest and comprehension of the broader community in which they live. PYL provides participants a unique opportunity to meet with and to learn from community leaders representing government, education, community service and business in an effort to maximize their individual leadership skills. The PYL Selection Committee chooses participants who represent a cross section of the community based on information provided in the written application. Completed application and reference forms must be postmarked no later than April 6, 2012. Applications can be downloaded or filled out on-line from the Plano Youth Leadership website: www.planoyouthleadership.org. Tuition for the program is $125 per participant, and need based scholarships are available for qualified students.

Ours is an earlyentrance residential college program established by the Texas legislature for high school-aged students who upon graduation in two years will have earned 60 or more college credit hours. TALH is a part of Lamar University in Beaumont, and our students are fully integrated into the academic life of the university alongside traditional students; Lamar faculty members hold them to the rigorous standards of a college classroom. TALH is rare if not unique among early entrance college programs throughout the United States in its threefold focus on leadership through academic excellence, the humanities, and altruism. Students admitted to TALH are given a full-tuition scholarship for a 15-hour course load. They are given opportunities to pursue research that only a university can provide. Many of our graduates continue their education at some of the most distinguished universities in the nation, and pursue c areers in medicine, law, and education. We would encourage prospective students to contact us to schedule a personal visit to the campus to learn firsthand about the TALH experience from students, faculty, and administration. We have a rolling admissions policy, but applications received after April 15, 2012 cannot be guaranteed admissions consideration for fall 2012 matriculation.
