Quote from a Boston Scholar"[My teacher] told us about Boston Scholars and how they were giving scholarship money away... When they read my name, I was dumbfounded with this huge smile on my face... and I thought I was going to cry. I am very thankful for Boston Scholars and am going to do my best in high school. When I told my parents, my mother yelled, 'Thank you Lord' and gave my brother and I a hug."

Boston Scholars Program Receives IRS Approval as a 501(c)3 Tax Free Nonprofit OrganizationAfter filing our nonprofit tax application with the IRS only a few weeks ago -- almost a year ahead of the deadline -- The Boston Scholars Program was granted expedited review of our application, and subsequently was approved by the IRS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit and tax free organization. This is great news as it is a significant hurdle for many new nonprofits that often can take over a year to clear.
