The last chance for students to apply for the Disney Dreamers Academy at Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida is coming up.
Time is running out for high school students with big dreams to take the next step toward their future, as the October 31st application deadline for the Disney Dreamers Academy is fast approaching.
The 100 selected students will receive an all-expense-paid trip along with one parent or guardian to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida to experience a combination of inspiration, education and fun at The Most Magical Place On Earth.
Disney Dreamers Academy, in its 18th year, is an educational mentorship program that is fostering the career dreams of high school students from culturally diverse communities nationwide.
Well-known celebrities, educators, business executives, community leaders and Disney cast members lead various in-depth workshops designed for the 100 students who are selected for the program.
These workshops introduce Disney Dreamers to diverse career paths in business, entertainment, STEM and more, including career opportunities at The Walt Disney Company. They also provide students with valuable life tools, leadership skills, effective communication techniques and networking strategies.
Applications are open to U.S. high school students, ages 13 to 19. A distinguished panel of leaders will evaluate the applications, and selected participants will be announced in early 2025.
Anyone interested can apply or nominate a student online.
Disney Dreamers Academy is one of the many examples of Walt Disney World’s commitment to supporting diverse communities by inspiring young people to dream boldly, pursue their passions, and make a meaningful difference in the world.
