Vote everyday from now until May 31st to give the Mary’s Center Teens a chance to win $25,000 for College Scholarships. Visit www.refresheverything.com/mcteens.
Goals
· Provide supports for teens to apply to college.
· Raise money to provide scholarships for teens to attend college.
· Build the Urbanito Alumni Association to provide ongoing support.
Overview
The Urbanito Scholarship Fund was created by teens during after their 2007 summer project where they analyzed the Washington, D.C. educational system and concluded that a significant barrier to their access to higher education was a lack of financial resources. This year 25 have applied to college. All were accepted to at least one university or community college. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to provide each with a $1,000 grant.
To receive a grant, the teens must be a high school or GED graduate, help with fundraising, and show proof of college or trade school attendance.
Deliverables:
- 25 teens, upon proof of attendance at a college, university, or trade school, will receive a $1,000 grant to be used toward tuition, room and board or the purchase of books.
- The Teen Program Alumni Association will be formed to provide ongoing support.
