About Capital Region Sponsor-A-Scholar
The major goal of Capital Region Sponsor-A-Scholar is to equip each of its 90 Albany, Schenectady and Troy High Schools students with the academic and emotional support needed to complete high school, be accepted to, and graduate from college.
Academic support for these economically disadvantaged students includes: mandatory, weekly homework/tutoring sessions; PSAT/SAT preparation courses; Advanced Placement/University in the High School classes; summer enrichment and college preparedness programs; and graphing calculators. By giving the students the resources to successfully complete and excel in their courses, they can present themselves competitively as they apply to the various colleges across New York State and beyond.
Our documented success has shown that we are achieving our mission and improving graduation rates in the Capital Region. Currently, CRSAS graduates 96% of its high school students and 74% of the students who start college, earn a college degree. 150 of our scholars are currently in college, 135 of our scholars have finished college and many are continuing on to graduate school.
Many of these students are returning to the area to attend graduate school or for employment opportunities and serving as positive role models for the next generation.
