Learning is Just the Beginning

Boys Hope Girls Hope isn't just a program to help kids learn, it provides tools for success, both at school and in life.

Boys Hope Girls Hope will consider a child for the program if he or she meets the following criteria.

Candidates should...

• Be between the ages of 9 and 14 at the time of admission.
• Be capable of succeeding in a rigorous academic environment.
• Be free of serious learning disorders and emotional/behavioral issues.
• Be drug- and alcohol-free.
• Understand and accept the expectations of the Boys Hope Girls Hope program and voluntarily participate.
• Need an "out-of-home" placement.
• Be open to a long-term, value-centered, and nurturing residential setting.
• Have the ability to positively relate to peers and authority.
• Have the support of his or her family.

Application Process
Contact the Program Director of Boys Hope Girls Hope Cincinnati to discuss the possibility of a program scholarship. We will arrange a personal interview between the referral agent (if applicable), Boys Hope Girls Hope, the potential scholar, and his or her family. After completing the interview, the child's parent/guardian must submit the following materials to Boys Hope Girls Hope:

• Completed program application
• Academic record & immunization records
• Letter from the child to the Program Director/Program Committee requesting consideration

Once the application has been received and reviewed, Boys Hope Girls Hope will arrange for psychological/academic testing and schedule a visit for the child and his or her family to the program. Following the testing and visit, the Program Committee of the Board of Directors will determine a youth's acceptance into the program. This process typically takes between 6-8 weeks.
