About the Boston Scholars Program: The mission of the Boston Scholars Program is to open doors for disadvantaged youths through educational opportunity. We achieve our mission by granting tuition and stipend scholarships to meritorious Boston-area students who have demonstrated a pressing financial need, and by pairing these "Boston Scholars" with mentors from the Boston professional community who share similar academic and professional interests. The Boston Scholars Program opens the door to new educational opportunities and provides the positive influences necessary to guide our scholars through the challenges of high school and the help they need to open up a world of opportunities previously not thought possible. The Boston Scholars program board of advisors is comprised of top Boston influencers in the business and nonprofit community, including Carol F. Anderson, Board of Directors, Boston Foundation; Howard Anderson, Managing Partner, YankeeTek Ventures; Carrie Maille Hickey, Executive Director, Mother Caroline Academy; John H. Finley, IV, Executive Director, Epiphany School; Rev. James F. Lafontaine, Executive Director, Nativity Preparatory School; and John B. Pearson, President and CEO, Big Brothers of Massachusetts Bay.
