Excel Youth Conference

A free one-day program for 9th-11th high school students and families from the Baltimore area.

We strive to ensure that all academically qualified students, regardless of family background, know that a world-class education at an institution like ours is within reach. This is especially true for the talented students right here in our own backyard.

At the Excel Youth Conference, you’ll get to interact with current Hopkins students and staff while learning about various topics—including the application process, college success, and financial aid. We’ll also cover ways that parents and guardians can support your educational journey.
