CRAHS #4 SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Welcome

College Ready Academy High School #4, founded in 2006 by the Alliance for College Ready Public Schools, is an independent, start-up charter, college preparatory school, which currently serves students in grades 9-12. Our mission is to prepare socio-economically disadvantaged children for entrance into four year colleges and universities.

 Our population consists of 94 percent latino/a students; many of which are undocumented and unable to receive financial aid. In an attempt to contribute to our mission of supporting all students, we began a scholarship fund for undocumented students in the Fall of 2009.

The Class of 2010 will be the first graduating class of CRAHS #4. We will be awarding a scholarship to an outstanding undocumented student who attends a four-year university. We need all the support you can provide us. Any donation will be highly appreciated.

The Every Penny Counts Scholarship Program will award a scholarship every year to an undocumented student based upon three primary factors: involvement and commitment to the community, achievement, and financial need.  Through this program, we seek to increase the number of students who attend a four-year university.
