The mission of the Boston Scholars Program is to open doors for disadvantaged youths through educational opportunity. We achieve our mission by granting scholarships to deserving Boston-area students who have demonstrated a pressing financial need and by pairing these "Boston Scholars" with mentors from the Boston professional community. 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. At Boston Scholars, we are interested in developing the whole child. Therefore, we also expose our Scholars to various academic and leadership development opportunities so that our students can develop their full  potential and not be limited by their socioeconomic level.
