I don't know how I made it this far, but I know the Scholars Program most certainly helped me here, every step of the way. I've always wanted to be a nurse, and I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!"-Ashtabula Scholar"In starting a new job and school there were roadblocks that were not in the plan. I was searching for scholarships to help with the cost of school, and I saw a posting about Ursuline Sisters Scholars Program, so I applied. The time that they have taken out just to see how I’m doing and care about my well-being is priceless." -Trumbull Scholar“You marked the beginning of the change in my life and played a major role in supporting me when I didn’t have anyone else.”-Ashtabula Scholar“When this program says they care about you, they mean it. Everyone remembered my name and was willing to check in with me. It was such a great program to be in for someone without a strong support system at home. My only regret is that I didn’t know about this program sooner."-Mahoning ScholarInterested in being a Scholar?You can fill out the application form, and our Program Coordinator will reach out to you.Apply to Become a ScholarInterested in being a Mentor?You can fill out the Volunteer Application Form, and our Volunteer Coordinator will reach out to you.Apply to Become a Mentor
