Our Mission

The Dr. Ione Dunkley Edwards Scholarship Program (Program) supports college preparation for young women of color attending the Ursuline School (Catholic) in New Rochelle, New York.

Scholarship recipients have been students whose PSAT scores and academic performance suggest they would benefit from exposure to materials and techniques designed to improve test taking ability, and, therefore, test scores.

Scholarship recipients received an amount to cover the cost of a selected college entrance examination course fee.   

The Program began in in 2016 and, as of January 2020, has awarded eleven (11) scholarships.
