My personal message:

Welcome to Boston Scholars Program:

Start the New Year by Supporting Educational Opportunities for Boston Youth!


Our mission at the Boston Scholars Program is to Open Doors through Educational Opportunity for low-income Boston youth. Whereas 50-65% of the wealthiest quartile of Americans become college graduates, only 5-8% of Americans in the poorest quartile do the same! At BSP, we help guide underserved students towards achieving goals that once seemed out of reach. 

Boston Scholars started in 2004 when Boston professionals wanted to present more educational opportunity to low income youth. Focusing on delivering 1) tuition scholarships so students can enter challenging high schools and 2) one on one mentoring for youth, we have achieved an incredible 100 % high school graduation and college enrollment rate.

The following are the details  of our Party.

Leave No Boston Scholars Behind in 2009!  PARTY!

January 9th, Friday, 6:00pm - 10:00pm & later

FELT Nightclub, 533 Washington Street.

$25 Online and $30 at the Door! - Use the Donate Now Button

Given these difficult financial times, we want to make sure  that we are there to offer advocacy and guidance as our 55 Boston Scholars navigate themselves through high school and college.

I hope you will consider joining us as a Host Committee member by committing to sell or buy 4 tickets at $25. The first 100 ticket purchasers will get a free drink!  Become a much needed FriendRaiser and Fundraiser for Boston Scholars! Please consider joining our Host Committee by committing to Buy/Sell a total of 4 tickets!

Sincerely,

Frankie Cruz
