Earlier this year, Ellen and Walmart surprised the entire senior class at Brooklyn's Summit Academy with four-year college scholarships. “Summit” follows six of those high school graduates as they embark on the emotional journey to college. Tune in every Wednesday to watch their stories unfold.



In Episode 1 we meet Keanna Pinckney as she walks the halls of her high school for the last time before heading off to college. Quincy Phillips, raised by his grandmother, talks about what it was like growing up in underserved Red Hook, and finally making it “out the hook.” We also meet Ruddy, who has an emotional conversation with his mom about leaving home and being on his own for the first time.



The six-week docuseries portrays the major impact the scholarships play on the future of incoming college freshman Nyasha Biggs, Sharinel Nunez, and Melick Lubin, enrolled at University at Albany, Quincy Phillips enrolled at Purchase College, Ruddy Green enrolled at SUNY Broome, and Keanna Pinckney enrolled at Corning Community College.
