The mission of the Boston Scholars Program is to “open doors through educational opportunity.” We achieve our mission through a threefold process. First, we grant tuition assistance to allow deserving Boston-area low-income students, who have demonstrated a pressing financial need, to attend tuition-based high schools. Second, we pair our Scholars with Mentors from the Boston professional community who share academic, personal, and professional interests with our 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.
