For College. For Life. For Forsyth.
Crosby Scholars helps every public school student in Forsyth County prepare academically, personally, and financially for college — at no cost.
WHO WE ARE
Helping Students Dream Bigger Since 1992
For more than 30 years, Crosby Scholars has opened doors for Forsyth County students — building confidence, leadership, and college readiness.
Founded in 1992 as a community collaboration inspired by the values of the late Bing Crosby, the program began with a simple idea: every student deserves a clear path to college, no matter their circumstances.
What started with a few dozen students and a handful of dedicated volunteers has grown into a county-wide partnership serving more than 10,000 students each year. Today, Crosby Scholars continues to work alongside families, educators, and community leaders to ensure that opportunity never depends on income, background, or zip code — only on potential, perseverance, and possibility.
HOW IT WORKS
From Middle School to College and Beyond
Crosby Scholars provides free, structured support from 6th through 12th grade — guiding students step-by-step toward high school success, college access, and career readiness.
OUR IMPACT

From the first day they join the program, scholars gain more than academic support — they gain a community that believes in their future.
Through advising, mentoring, and enrichment programs, Crosby Scholars helps students prepare for every next step — from middle school milestones to college graduation. With the support of families, educators, and generous community partners, we’re building a stronger, more educated Forsyth County.
