Scholarship Series
Over the past year, our outreach has become both broader and more targeted. Several months ago, we expanded our outreach to include additional NYCHA developments in Bed-Stuy and we have targeted local high schools with workshops. To date workshops have been held at several schools in CD36 including Brooklyn Academy High School, Bedford Academy, and The Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance. Additional workshops are planned. These workshops introduce students not only to our scholarship but also to the multitude of scholarships that are available to them and provide guidance on applying – including essay coaching. Just since November, we’ve engaged with over 100 students. Counselors in these high schools view the workshops as an amplification of their own efforts with students.
