自 2009 年以来,Say Yes Syracuse 已向符合条件的学生颁发了 6,000 多份奖学金,通过解决高等教育的主要障碍–费用问题,让更多人能够上得起大学。 该计划与锡拉丘兹市学区 (SCSD)、锡拉丘兹市、奥农达加县和锡拉丘兹大学在当地开展合作,为学生及其家庭高中毕业、准备上大学和支付大学费用提供支持。

除经济援助外,奥农达加县、锡拉丘兹市和南卡罗来纳州立学校还与 Say Yes Syracuse 合作开发了全面的支持服务,以帮助学生实现其学业潜能。 这种全面的方法可确保学生为大学及以后的学习做好充分准备,营造一个让每个学生都能取得成功的环境。 通过利用这些资源和坚持不懈的努力,来自不同经济背景的学生都能实现自己的大学梦想,确保拥有一个更加光明的未来。
