Scholar of the Week
The Scholar of the Week award, presented by the CollegeBound Foundation, recognizes the hard work and dedication of the talented youth of Baltimore City, many of whom face significant financial and personal challenges in their lives. This program helps meet CollegeBound Foundation's mission of encouraging and enabling Baltimore's underserved youth to go to college by motivating other youth to consider higher education.
The Scholar of the Week program is made possible by a grant from the Travelers Foundation, which is matched by the Fox45 television station. The CollegeBound Foundation recognizes its "college bound" scholars during a broadcasting schedule via Fox45. Click here to view our 2010 Scholar of the Week Recipients
Scholar of the Week PSAs will run on Fox 45 in the spring. Stay tuned for dates and times.
