Steppingstone Scholars050

Steppingstone Scholars is a non-profit educational program that recruits academically motivated fourth-graders for a 14-month academic program, with the aim of placing them in the region's best college preparatory schools in sixth grade. Steppingstone Scholars believes that children, regardless of circumstance, can earn life-transforming opportunities through education. Applicants should be students, ages nine to 10, who show academic promise, are determined to work hard, and have support at home. Potential Scholars and their families must also demonstrate a need for the services - academic and otherwise - that Steppingstone provides.
