Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar Receives $1,500 From Stewart’s Holiday Match Program

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar (SSAS) announced that it received $1,500 through the Stewart’s Holiday Match Program. The funds will be used to support the students enrolled in the high school portion of the SSAS program. “Stewart’s generous gift will be used to help our scholars purchase the books they must have to fulfill their summer reading requirements,” SSAS Executive Director Jim LaVigne said. “Many of our students can’t afford this expense and this gift will allow them the same opportunity to keep up over the summer as other students with more resources.” SSAS is a federally recognized nonprofit agency that helps economically disadvantaged, academically motivated students at Saratoga Springs High School complete high school, enter college and graduate. SSAS provides enrolled students with tutoring, mentors and assistance with college preparation as well as an annual financial stipend during college.
