Our Partners

New York Public Radio

New York Public Radio partners with Scholarship Plus to provide our students with paid internships between high school and college at the headquarters of this outstanding public radio producer and broadcaster. Students work with development officers, on-air journalists, administrators and human-resources executives, developing work and people skills surrounded by interesting and dedicated staff members.

As part of the program, each student is assigned a mentor from New York Public Radio.

NYPR's news, information, classical music and cultural affairs programming and live events reach a combined radio, web and studio audience of more than two million people each week.

New York Community Trust

New York Community Trust has provided Scholarship Plus with three full scholarships for students pursuing STEM subjects. 

The Pinkerton Foundation

The Pinkerton Foundation has generously provided five scholars with summer internship stipends so that they could participate in the most academically and professionally enriching opportunities.

The Foundation has also supported Scholarship Plus programming that helps us prepare our scholars for their transition to college.
