Star Kids Scholarship Program - Newport/Fall River

The mission of the Star Kids Scholarship Program is to provide educational opportunities for those high risk, low-income children who have a parent with a history of incarceration and/or substance abuse. Children are typically enrolled in the program between Kindergarten and Grade 4.

Star Kids' goal for each child is to graduate from high school.

By completing high school and hopefully going on to higher education, these children will have a greater chance of breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty, substance abuse and incarceration and building a brighter future.

Star Kids empower at-risk students through education by providing the support they need to succeed in and out of the classroom. Through tuition scholarships and comprehensive wrap-around support funding for academic tutoring, after-school and summer programs, books, technology and mentoring our students thrive. Once a student is accepted into our program, we support their educational journey through high school graduation. Our make a longterm commitment to each student.
