Meet The New HEAR Scholar Class of 2024!
After a particularly challenging interview and selection process, we are delighted to introduce the HEAR Class of 2024. These young men and women have shown persistence throughout high school and demonstrated commitment to their communities in many different ways……
We are delighted to welcome these students into the HEAR Family of scholars this fall. We are certain these 30 young men and women are destined for great things and look forward to supporting them throughout their college careers.
We look forward to sharing more information with you soon!
HEAR Mentoring
Mentoring is an essential part of our program. HEAR pairs every new Scholar with an adult mentor.
They serve as guides to our under-resourced and often first-generation scholars throughout their college careers.
Mentoring is well-documented as being key to ensure college perseverance and completion.
Become a mentor for one of our future scholars and feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that you personally made a difference in someone’s life.
If you, or anyone you know, are interested in learning more about becoming a mentor, please contact us at info@hearfoundation.org.
