Recognition of Citi for Support of Scholarship and Mentoring Programs (Hillsborough Education Foundation)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Citi and the Citi Foundation have provided invaluable support to the Foundation's scholarship and mentoring programs, encouraging students to work hard through high school and further their education after graduation.  Their methods of support include hosting the annual Scholarship Reception to honor those students whose hard work and determination enabled them to be awarded a Foundation scholarship.  They have also recently provided funding for the Foundation to implement the PREP for SUCCESS program, targeting low- to moderate-income students in 9th through 12th grade who are at risk of dropping out of school.  These funds, which serve as resources through the county's career centers and Foundation scholarships, help the students stay in school and acquire the funding to continue on with a postsecondary education.
