DOORWAYS SCHOLARSHIPS

What are Doorways Scholarships?
Doorways Scholarships are awarded to eligible sixth graders living in St. Petersburg. To be eligible a student must:

  • Receive free or reduced lunch
  • Attend a St. Petersburg public school.
  • Maintain at least a “C” grade point average in all classes
  • Attend school regularly
  • Complete homework and study for tests
  • Remain crime and drug free
  • Have a mentor

The Doorways Scholars program has generated millions of dollars for scholarships and currently has over 3,000 students in their program. Mayor Baker, with exclusively private donations, has funded 100 scholarships each year of his term of office.

A mentor, friend or parent can nominate a student online by visiting the Doorways Home page on the Pinellas Education Foundation (PEF) website.
