Oak Tree Project provides scholarships to children’s home students who are attending college. The scholarship is an incentive to students to focus on college education by providing living expenses and removing the burden of finances while studying.
Students are also paired with mentors. Each mentor provides encouragement, support and guidance to the students during the students entire college career which results in establishing trusting relationships that last beyond the mentoring period.
