5A5B Scholarship Fund (Closed)
The 5A5B Foundation is a charitable organization founded by a group of friends from Boston College. Their mission is to provide ambitious and motivated young students with a quality Jesuit education. In partnership with Christo Rey, they offer a Scholarship Fund to support deserving students who may otherwise lack the means for such an education. The 5A5B Foundation aims to create a positive impact on students' lives and empower them for a better future.
