Description

- Page Educational Grants: Awards annually renewable grants in the amount of $2500 - $3500 to Minnesota students of color who attend colleges, universities, and technical schools within the state of Minnesota. Students who accept financial aid from the Foundation are required to return to their communities and perform annual Service-to-Children projects with younger children of color. - Service-to-Children Program: While attending college, Page Scholars perform volunteer service that brings them into contact with students of color in grades K - 8. Each Page Scholar is required to volunteer at least 50 hours during the academic year - roughly 2 hours a week during the school year. The purpose of the service requirement is to present each Page Scholar as a mentor and role model to children of color before the younger students have decided (or have been convinced) that education is not important. - Page Connections: The program recruits volunteer adult mentors to partner with its Page Scholars. These adults support the Scholars in a variety of ways, particularly with completing their service-to-children projects. Senior Mentors create an important link between the Foundation and Scholars.
