The mission of the Boston Scholars Program is to “open doors through educational opportunity." They achieve their mission through a threefold process. First, they grant scholarships to allow deserving Boston-area low-income high school students, who have demonstrated a pressing financial need, to attend tuition-based high schools. Second, the Boston Scholars Program pairs their scholars with mentors from the Boston professional community who share academic, personal, and professional interests with their scholars to guide them through their high school career and into college. Thirdly, through our supplemental services that include tutoring, leadership opportunities and college counseling, we assist Mentors and Scholars to work together so our Scholars feel supported as they pursue academic and leadership goals that once seemed impossible.
