With a lot of work and support from our ecosystem, ThreadED met our scholarships commitment for the 2021-22 academic year! We look forward to meeting our uAspire recipients and learning about their college plans and personal goals.
This year’s high school graduating class was hit especially hard by the pandemic and we at ThreadED are so happy to help hardworking Boston public school students begin their college careers. Thanks to everyone who volunteered, shopped, donated, spread the word, and kept in touch during the past 1.5 years!

How Donated Clothing Becomes a Scholarship
Here's one example of how ThreadED funded a Last Dollar Scholarship last year. In partnership with Boston-based uAspire, these modest scholarships range from $1,500-2,000 and help to fill the difficult gap between the financial aid package the college student receives and the total cost of attendance for the year. The terrific items came from five different donors. Together, just six pieces created a meaningful source of support for a Boston area student . |
