Funderburg Scholars supports students from the UU Urban Ministry's after-school program in Roxbury as they pursue higher education. Upon high school graduation, we provide each scholar with a laptop, textbooks, and substantial tuition assistance. Many of our students are the first in their families to attend college. Despite their determination and work ethic, rising tuition costs and limited financial aid create significant barriers. Your donation helps bridge that gap and makes college possible.
“I just want to say thank you so much for everything you have done to help me be successful in college. Without you, I would not have been able to pay for my semesters or even do my homework!! You have been an amazing influence on success in college. Thank you so much!” — Nicole, Framingham State College
