Bostonians never need an excuse to raise a glass, but this one is particularly good: Boston Scholars, a non-profit that provides financial aid, mentoring, and tutoring to at-risk Boston high school students, is celebrating the fact that 100% of their first class of students (who entered the program five years ago) have been accepted to college!
Being accepted to college is something most students, parents, and well wishers would celebrate. In this case, these students have overcome some daunting odds.
