Applications are now open for Student Sponsor Partners, which addresses the high school dropout crisis in NYC by providing underserved students with four years of non-public, college-preparatory high school education. In addition to access to a high-quality education, SSP students benefit from sponsors who offer financial assistance towards their school tuition and mentors who provide one-on-one support and encouragement. To be eligible to apply, youth must currently be in the 8th grade, have average grades, and come from a family with a limited income. SSP accepts applications on a rolling basis and space is limited, so youth should apply as soon as possible.
