There are many talented and motivated teenagers from low-income families who dream of doing great things with a college education. But, in most cases, finances limit them, and so their choices are either limited or non-existent.
In 2003, a group of Boston-area young professionals thought of an innovative way to help inner-city students who are bright but struggling for the right opportunity. The Boston Scholars Program provides tuition scholarships and mentoring relationships during young people's critical and formative years. The scholars are selected based their achievement and enthusiasm, academic potential and integrity, financial need,
and leadership and community involvement.
Boston Scholar Aaron Lawton ( New Hampton School, '09) is interviewed
along with Executive Director Frankie Cruz.
