The Leaders Impacting Tomorrow (LIT) Program provides high achieving high school graduates from the Young Women's Preparatory Network (YWPN) with an array of enrichment opportunities and financial support, including:

Financial Support
If Pell-eligible, you will receive from TWU:
- Minimum of $8,000 per year in academic merit scholarships
- Pell grant assistance

Fully Pell-eligible students receive enough financial support to cover tuition, fees, room and board, and books with a scholarship and aid package amounting to over $20,000 per year.
What I liked most about the honors program at TWU is actually the challenge. The extra commitment to service hours and an above average GPA help me stay on track. It honestly gives me a sense of satisfaction knowing I’m doing more than the minimum.
