“In 2011, the organization created a peer support/mentorship program for the scholarship recipients to help the students build a support system within themselves as well as the board members who serves as mentors. Due to this program, the students/scholars finally got to personally meet each other, although they had informally met via social media, facebook. It is the board's intention to have these scholars meet as often as possible to share their college experiences and keep them connected.”
