Testimonials
What do past winners have to say about the experience?
"I just wanted to thank you and Bentley for giving us this wonderful experience. I am so honored to have been able to travel to Bentley to attend the Leadership Forum as well as meet the other Tomorrow 25! The speakers at the forum have all been very inspiring to me -- but I have especially been inspired by the other 24 wonderful juniors that I had the opportunity to talk to and get to know. It is so encouraging to be with teens my age who are so avid about the future and making a difference in the world. We will all do great things, I am sure of it!"

Branchland, WV
“I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for providing me
this wonderful opportunity. As a Tomorrow25 participant, I now believe
I can do anything — one person can change things globally, as several
of the panelists have done! The Bentley Leadership Forum was handled
with the utmost professionalism while promoting the responsibility of
all businesses and its employees to facilitate the “Business of Healing
our World.” I was awe-inspired by the physicist engineer (what I want
to be) who referred to himself as the “wacky scientist from New
Hampshire” who has developed his “two boxes,” each of which will
forever change the world for the better by saving lives and providing
access to technology through electricity. Again, I want to express my
sincere gratitude and appreciation for this life-altering experience.”

“Meeting the rest of the tomorrow 25 was one of the most unique and life changing experiences that I have ever had. Now I have 24 people to talk to when I need ideas, or assistance in my leadership activities. This has truly been a life-changing opportunity for me. I will most definitely encourage another student to apply to the Tomorrow 25 program next year.”
