SCOPE: NEW PATHWAYS TO POTENTIAL  

When you level the playing ground of possibility, you give all children new pathways to potential. A nonprofit funder of camp and college scholarships to children from under-resourced communities who promise to stay in school, SCOPE provides access to safe spaces to learn, grow and discover new possibilities. SCOPE’s network of community-led camps are committed to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) that gives children the sense of belonging and emotional resilience that opens up pathways to fulfill their potential. Sponsor a Camper >

SCOPE College Scholarship Program

SCOPE campership recipients are committed to their education in order to return to camp each summer. After attending a Northeast SCOPE partner camp for six years or more, recipients are eligible to apply and receive partial college scholarship support through SCOPE’s Sanford Lavitt Education Fund.

Support started at $2,500/scholar in 2020 and has grown to $3,500/scholar to support their educational journey.

“Receiving this scholarship means far more than assistance, but signifies belief in my academic journey; it will contribute to my educational advancement and bring me closer to achieving my goal of obtaining a PhD in the future.  

My heartfelt thanks to those involved in making such opportunities possible.
-Amoya

 

 

 

SCOPE Partner Camps

Children benefited from enriched programming at 67 diverse, nonprofit, overnight summer camps around the United States. Each SCOPE partner camp is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) and is required to maintain compliance with ACA standards, accept campers at agreed upon SCOPE allocated tuition cost, and refrain from asking assisted families for any additional fees.
