Participant Testimonial

In the words of one NeON Scholars participant:
"I felt incredibly welcomed and supported from the very beginning, and [NeON Scholars] has made a huge difference in my growth as a student...The teacher provided me with valuable guidance and feedback, and I was able to learn and grow so much as a result of her patient instruction. Thanks to her and everyone else, I passed my regents exam!"
