March 20, 2025
News
We commend all Pioneer Scholars who navigated the challenges of their research journey with unwavering curiosity and diligence. Whether they have already secured admission through Early Action or Early Decision or are awaiting April results, their commitment to conducting the highest level of research possible for high school students is truly commendable. Pioneer’s reputation stands as a testament to their extraordinary efforts.
As is our annual tradition, we now share the statistics of Pioneer Scholars’ early college admission results. However, beyond the numbers, it is their intellectual drive, passion, and dedication that fill us with the greatest pride.
