The Village P.R.O.J.E.C.T.S. provide links to financial aid information. We also provide the real-life experience stories of persons who have attended  college and/or high school and graduated. They will tell you how they did it.  We believe that we can learn from each other. (Scholars Within). . It is our intent to connect persons from underrepresented groups with cost-reducing financial aid such as community support with babysitting, encouragement that fosters a 'can do' attitude, hairdresser/barber assistance, the inclusion of mechanics and other service providers as emergency resources, etc. We also search for information on paid internships that are often overlooked or not known by persons from underserved communities.  We identify information on transfer and other college credit that would reduce the cost of your education by reducing the number of credit hours that you would need to complete to graduate. Personal stories will be of the greatest value to those of you who are trying to get into. or through, college; and for those of you who aspire to leadership roles in your chosen fields. We simply want to balance the scales. Let us help you start A Village of Mentors in your community - you can do it, and we can help! Email us today villageprojects@aol.com
