BACKGROUND:
The Red Sox Scholars is a college success program that awards a $10,000 college scholarship to 12 Boston Public School 7th graders each year. The Foundation then provides academic, professional, and social support to students for at least the next nine years to ensure they graduate from college with as little debt as possible and are prepared to enter the workforce and feel part of a family of resources for years to come!
ELIGIBILITY TO APPLY:
- Legally enrolled as a full-time 7th-grade student in the Boston Public School District or at a Boston Public Charter School for School Year 2023-24
- Demonstrate strong academic potential
- Demonstrate strong financial need
- Must be able to attend an in-person interview on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at Fenway Park
APPLICATION SUBMISSION:
The 2024 Red Sox Scholars Application is attached. It can also be downloaded from our website. As you’ll see, the application is a fillable PDF document to simplify the process. Students must save the document to their computer first, which will give them the ability to type directly into the application. Completed applications must be emailed to RedSoxScholars@redsox.com no later than Thursday, February 29, 2024.
- As in the past, if you’d like a Red Sox Foundation representative to speak to your students, we’d be happy to make arrangements to do so.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Emily McGrail at emcgrail@redsox.com.
