Boston Scholars Honored by the Keds Corporation

Boston Scholars, Aviana, a sophomore at The Newman School, and Mark, a first year at South Kent School, received the Keds Award for exceptional integrity and commitment to all things "cool" - leadership, scholarship, mentor partnership, merit, and community service. Aviana and her Mentor Elise spoke about their BSP experiences as Keds Corp. made a $50,000 pledge to Boston Scholars Program.

"I'm hopeful that my involvement in Avi's life, particularly over these next few years, will be additive - as friend, mentor and sounding board as she makes decisions about the future," the Mentor explained to the audience.

Aviana has already seen the impact of Elise's friendship and support. "Elise has been there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to, and for that I thank her and truly hold her dear as a member of my family."

With the backing of Keds, the Boston Scholars Program will be able to offer many more students the opportunity to build a relationship like Aviana's and Elise's to provide support through rigorous high school experiences and college preparation.
