Janey Scholars

Janey Scholars gives students a unique opportunity to build a foundation for success in life. It supports students from Boston (preference for Boston Public School students) with an outstanding academic record who are attending a highly competitive college. The program provides flexible and individualized financial and social supports that help students excel academically, explore extracurricular activities, dream and plan for meaningful careers, and develop the skills to secure long-term financial independence. The financial supports fill gaps and open opportunities – books, computers, tutoring, study abroad, career building summer internships, and more. The social supports surround students with a network of caring adults and peers who encourage, guide, and inspire each Scholar. Scholars are paired with volunteer mentors who are a resource and a sounding board to help students navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and think boldly about their futures. Janey Scholar alumni are deeply engaged and offer exceptional career guidance and support.
