HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER SCHOLARS!

 

October 30th marks the founding 

of Oliver Scholars and our 37th year of 

Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. 


In 1984, the legacy of Oliver Scholars was born. 

From our humble beginnings of graduating our first scholar in 1985, we have since graduated over 1,100 students. Today, we continue to groom gifted and talented Black and Latinx students from New York City into leaders and trailblazers on their school campuses and in their communities.


We invite you to join the celebration!


Whether you attend our unique virtual events and programs or make a direct contribution, your support will help us remain #OliverStrong.  


We look forward to continuing the vital work our founders started, building upon a strong foundation and continuing that proud legacy, serving over 350 students each year.
