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.

This is a required event for all Scholars and will allow you to hear about new initiatives at Boston Scholars for 2007 and 2008. Don't miss out on an opportunity to start the summer with all the pivotal information for a very successful year.

Come reconnect, eat great food, enjoy great company and make plans for a summer and academic year filled with new goals and successes. Attending a required event has never been so much fun! As Executive Director, I am very eager to meet as many Scholars, their families, and Mentors as possible. Should be a great time as we plan to work jointly to make the most of the coming year.

Laurine has put in a great deal of effort into the day and it should be memorable for all.

Best ,

Frankie Cruz
