Student Sponsor Partners

Student Sponsor Partners addresses the high school dropout crisis in New York City by providing low-income students with a high school education. All SSP students are paired with sponsors who offer financial support and mentors who offer one-to-one mentoring, thus making a meaningful impact on their lives.

Student Sponsor Partners was founded in 1986 to provide disadvantaged youths with the opportunity to attend non-public high schools in New York City. The program pairs each student with an adult sponsor who pays all or a portion of the student's tuition along with a mentor who works with them for 4 years.
