The Bellevue Schools Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue will receive grants from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation.

The schools foundation will receive a grant to expand its College Corps volunteer program, which provides weekly college preparedness support, improved access to counselors and implementation of 10 free college application workshops geared toward low-income students.

“Bellevue students are incredibly diverse and come to school with a wide range of needs,” said Roxanne Shepherd, executive director at Bellevue Schools Foundation. “Research shows that students from low-income households in particular need extra support when it comes to researching colleges, completing application and financial aid forms, and determining a path to long-term success.”

In all, the bank’s foundation is awarding more than $300,000 to 20 nonprofits in the Puget Sound region.
