Our Mission

The Rewarding Potential Scholarship is a community-funded effort that helps Fox Lane High School students overcome financial barriers and realize their hopes and dreams of attending college.

Since 2015, we have provided 42 four-year scholarships to outstanding Fox Lane seniors with identified high financial need who might not have otherwise been able to attend college.

Recognizing that most of our recipients are the first in their families to attend college and, in some cases, the first to graduate from high school, we pair them with a mentor who will serve as a friend, resource, and confidant as they navigate the transition from home and high school to college. Mentoring is a unique and essential part of the RPS approach.
