What is an Individual Learning Plan (ILP)?

Created to help each Cooke Young Scholar meet their academic and extracurricular goals, an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) is a map of the annual educational opportunities funded by the Foundation.

ILPs are designed to help scholars develop and nurture academic skills, explore passions and interests, and stretch outside of their comfort zone. Cooke Young Scholars experience opportunities that may include:

  • Residential summer programs
  • School expenses
  • Music, art, or athletic lessons and supplies
  • Books and magazines
  • Software and technology
  • Distance learning courses
  • Internships
  • Conferences
  • Travel opportunities
