Scholarship Plus

Description

• Scholarship Plus is a college scholarship program founded in 2010 to provide financial assistance and strong undergraduate support for outstanding but economically challenged New York City high school graduates. The students we support are not just bright, but have already shown grit and determination in their young lives, distinguishing themselves academically despite both economic and personal obstacles. They are at or near the top of their classes, showing great promise though often graduating from academically weak city schools. WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT ACADEMIC ADVISING As soon as students have been selected, we help them refine their college selections. Once they have been admitted, we turn to helping them get the best possible financial packages from their chosen colleges. We monitor students' progress throughout college and work to ensure that academic, social and financial issues don't go unattended. INTERNSHIPS:. Six-week paid internships are provided by New York Public Radio in the summer between high school graduation and the beginning of college to expose students to a good work place with serious, productive adults willing to teach and mentor them. ORIENTATION During the internships the summer after high school graduation, we provide a college orientation program to prepare students for freshman year. This program helps our students get to know each other. They also share in a variety of summer cultural and educational experiences. ONGOING SUPPORT During college breaks and summers in the city, students continue to attend occasional events sponsored by Scholarship Plus, and the program continues to counsel them individually about academic choices and career opportunities. SUMMER JOBS Offers assistance finding paid summer jobs during college, as well as selective internships - an increasingly important part of the undergraduate years. Scholarship Plus also strives to provide stipends.
