Step Up Scholars Circle

The Step Up Scholars Circle at New York Edge is a transformative initiative designed to raise both friends and funds for our Step Program while enhancing college and career opportunities for our steppers. This program is about empowering young individuals to succeed through performance, mentorship, and real-world experiences. By expanding the program’s scope and enriching its offerings, we can ensure that every student has the support they need to reach their highest potential.

Our Vision

Through the Step Up Scholars Circle, we aim to broaden the program’s impact by introducing enhanced college and career readiness components. This includes a series of college visits throughout the tri-state area, where students can tour HBCUs and other prominent institutions. They’ll have the chance to meet alumni and gain firsthand insight into their college and career journeys, empowering them to envision their own futures.
