Applications are being accepted now through Oct. 31 for the 2016 Disney Dreamers Academy with Steve Harvey and Essence, the outside-the-classroom, educational mentoring program at Walt Disney World Resort.
High school students age 13 to 19 may apply at DisneyDreamersAcademy.com to become one of 100 Dreamers selected from a nationwide pool. Winners will be announced in December.
Applicants must answer essay questions about their personal stories and their dreams for the future. Students are selected based on a combination of attributes, including a strong character, positive attitude and determination to achieve their dreams.
Select Disney Dreamers along with a parent or guardian, will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The Academy will take place March 3-6, 2016.
Students each year participate in hands-on, full-immersion workshops related to a variety of career paths, ranging from animation to zoology. Each participant learns important skills such as communication techniques, leadership values and networking strategies.
