Project Title: Educational Opportunities for At Risk Low Income Youths
Project Description:

On behalf of New Bedford Star Kids Scholarship Program, we are seeking a grant in the amount of $5,000 for our supportive educational program that serves high risk, economically disadvantaged children whose parents have a history of substance abuse and/or incarceration. It is New Bedford Star Kids Scholarship Program’s goal to empower children through education and help each child graduate from high school with the possibility of pursuing a higher educational opportunity, whether it is college, trade school or the military. By providing this educational foundation, the goal is to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, drug use and incarceration prevalent amongst these families. New Bedford Star Kids provides tuition assistance along with uniforms, books, mentoring, tutoring, after-school and summer programs for students enrolled in kindergarten through Grade 12.

Total Project Budget: $326,500
