Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar is a growing program in Saratoga Springs, NY, modeled on Capital Region Sponsor-A-Scholar (www.crsas.org), a successful program founded in 1996 that serves high school students in Albany, Schenectady, and Troy, NY. The goal of the program is to help economically disadvantaged students at Saratoga Springs High School graduate from high school and attend college.

Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar is dedicated to the philosophy that every student showing academic motivation and potential should have the opportunity to finish high school and continue on to college. For many students, this goal would be beyond their reach without the support and guidance of caring adults. Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar provides qualified students with mentors and college preparatory help during high school and financial assistance during college.
