In this month’s meeting, we will be showcasing the Crosby Scholars Community Partnership. This program helps students in public middle and high schools in Forsyth County prepare academically, personally, and financially for college admission and other post-secondary opportunities. Crosby Scholars is a community partner of Forsyth Promise, the United Way of Forsyth County, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, and The Winston-Salem Foundation.

In 2012, an alliance was formed with Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina establishing Crosby Scholars as an independent affiliate of Goodwill, which has allowed Crosby Scholars to expand to serve Rowan and Iredell counties.

With a 29-year history of providing career and college exploration, admissions and financial aid workshops, advising services, college campus visits, community service opportunities, cultural experiences, and over $980,000 in scholarships and Last Dollar Grants for college tuition annually, Crosby Scholars now serves more than 11,000 students each year and has assisted 34,480 Forsyth County students for college and for life.

In 2019, the National College Attainment Network awarded Crosby Scholars the College Access Organization Award of Excellence. Crosby Scholars was also named a national 2019 Example of Excelencia Finalist by Excelencia in Education for Excelencia, a Crosby Scholars program for Hispanic and Latino girls.
