Info Session/ Open House on January 22, 2011, 1pm:
The Boston Scholars Program is a nonprofit organization that “opens doors through educational opportunity” for Boston-area youth from low-income families.
We achieve our mission in a threefold approach. First, we identify 8th graders who are expanding their educational opportunities by enrolling
at tuition-based high schools and we provide them a four-year “last-dollar” scholarship to help them afford the school.
Second , we provide each Scholar one-on-one mentoring with a Boston professional.
Thirdly, we provide our Scholars access to academic and leadership development opportunities
Starting January 10, 2011Current 8th students who are applying to tuition-based high schools for the 2011-2012 school year are invited to apply!Application deadline: April 1, 2011For more information or a copy of the application please visit the 2011 Application Page

Holler for Scholars Benefit Party was Friday October 15th. This event was in support of the BSP Scholarship Fund. We recruited a few potential mentors and made new connections. Most importantly we came closer to reaching our $20,000 goal for our Scholars.
Thanks to the Rodman Ride for Kids, 110% of all proceeds from this event can benefit our deserving students.
There is still time to support our $20,000 goal!
Please donate to our Rodman Ride for Kids web page--> click here. See more event photos below.
Special thanks to all of our generous silent auction donors, including BSP parents, mentors and local businesses. Some auction items are still available for bidding! Please see the auction items and email us with your interest!

September 25, 2010: The Rodman Ride for Kids is a charity bike ride in support of youth & youth programs throughout the Commonwealth.
This past Saturday, Frank Cruz (BSP Executive Director) and Nick Singh (BSP Mentor & Volunteer) rode 25 miles to support & promote BSP's mission to open doors of educational opportunity.
Nick raised over $1000 to support BSP. Timna Molberger is another wonderful BSP volunteer who has also raised close to $1000 on behalf of the Boston Scholars Program.
With the support of volunteers like Nick and Timna, as well as with the support of organizations like TUGG, we are half way to our monetary goal. Though the actual ride is complete, we are in need of more support. Our Rodman Ride goal is $20,000 by October 30th. Please see the BSP website directory (on the left side of our homepage) and click on "Rodman Ride Help" to learn about how you can support Team BSP or feel free to donate directly to the BSP-Rodman Ride website, click here .
Also, consider attending the "Holler for Scholars" Benefit Party on October 15th. All proceeds from this benefit will be generously increased by 10% from the Rodman Ride organization. To learn more about the Holler for Scholars Benefit Party, please click here.
