THE STORY:
COLLEGE BOUND DORCHESTER wrote -
In 2012, College Bound Dorchester started a College Scholarship Fund, providing proven-risk students with scholarships. We now seek to grow the Fund to serve more than 100 students who will be enrolled in college this fall. We serve proven-risk youth, who are highly disconnected and furthest off-track – many are the first in their family to go to college. The scholarship is designed to facilitate their pathway to and through community college, building the skills and experience to strive in the 21st century workforce.
We are now seeking support to raise the remaining funds as we celebrate the students matriculating to college in 2016. Each scholarship is $2,000 and helps support our students’ transition to and through college.
