The Walt Disney World Resort and the Disney Dreamers Academy, with the help of Essence magazine, is now offering students a chance to brighten their futures! Now through October 31st, high school students from all over the United States can apply for a chance at this amazing opportunity.
The Disney Dreamers Academy helps 100 high school students from ages 13-19 get a head start on their futures. the academy uses the space of the Walt Disney World as a physical learning experience. The students will be able to attend workshops and seminars that will encourage them to achieve their goals and follow their dreams. Students will learn effective communication, leadership, and networking skills and so much more.
The dreamers will get to hear from celebrity guest speakers, such as Steve Harvey. They will also get to hear from other inspirational guest speakers and cast members. Then, through the academy’s “Be 100” campaign, the dreamers will get to hear from graduates of the program and see how they have achieved their dreams. Graduates have gone on to become doctors, engineers, pilots and more.
All aspiring dreamers have to do is answer essay questions about their hopes for the future. Dreamers will be chosen based on their displays of character and determination. Once selected, students will get to take a four day all expenses paid trip to Walt Disney World in 2020. Students will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

I believe that my son CJ would be an excellent candidate for this opportunity. He is a current senior in high school, and a very talented singer, trumpet player, and active actor in the theater department at his school as well as show choir, chamber choir, marching band, and other various activities. He is a hard working young man who thinks out side the box and wants to see the happiness of others happen. He also loves to discover the “magic” within the dreams of others. He is an amazing candidate for this opportunity.
My son is very creative and loves Disney. He would be a great candidate for this opportunity.

My daughter Payton was born with an extremely rare life threatening condition and was given little hope of survival. Not only did she survive, she thrives because of her enthusiasm and love of life. She works diligently at her school work, volunteers to do tasks around the house because she wants to learn how to run a household, and looks for ways to be involved at church and in our small community. As a high school junior, she has risen to the challenge of mentoring younger children who have her same medical condition, even encouraging distraught parents of these newly diagnosed children. Payton wants a career in the medical field and your program sounds like an excellent opportunity for her to learn skills that could help her achieve her goals.
My daughter is 16, & going to be a junior in high school. She is hard working, & dedicated to everything she puts her mind to. She has a 10 year history of competitive cheer, & currently runs cross country & is on the cheer team for her high school. She excels in the classroom as well. She has grown into a beautiful, independent young lady…as I am a full time, working mother. We have been to Disney together, & even as a young teen, she still gets teary eyed, when it’s time to return home. She doesn’t know this program of yours exists, & I know it would be a chance For her to uncover her “Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow “.

My daughter would really benefit from this. She loves Disney just as much as I do and she wanted to attend the college program Disney has to offer but after researching the information she decided to give up on that dream feeling she couldn’t get in.

Could I please have more information.
