By: Beyond The Boroughs: National Scholarship Fund “As someone who grew up in an inner city it is important to me that the messages we communicate to our young people actually match the support that we are willing to provide them nationally. It’s important to show them that there are options beyond the walls of what they see and experience on a daily basis in their home towns and cities. For all of the students that we assist it is not possible for their families to provide the financial support that is needed for them to achieve their educational dreams and goals”. States Beyond The Boroughs National Scholarship Fund Founder Tutan Reyes. “Imagine telling your child that when they grow up they can be anything that they dream of as long as they put their mind to it, and then when it is time for them to go to college you don’t have the funds for them attend the school of their choice, or any school at all for that matter. It’s disheartening for parents struggling to make ends meet and can be exceptionally discouraging for hardworking students. It’s a gap that we bridge year after year at Beyond the Boroughs. A student’s potential and opportunities should not be lost because of economic disparities.” In 2013 alone Beyond the Boroughs selected 11 students to receive $24,500 in funds to assist them in the pursuance of their college careers. Scholarship winners were from all over the country and in many cases represent first generation college students in their families. Beyond the Borough offers general scholarships for up to $5,000 per year and named scholarships under personal, family or business titles that can help pay for a student’s semester starting at as low as a $2,500 donation. Last year’s $5,000 scholarship awardees included Jay Pal Hunter attending Hunter College, Nikolette Boyd attending the University of California, Davis, and Sahir Karani attending New York University Polytechnic Institute.
