Ben Navarroâs Meeting Street Schools prepare thousands of Charleston County kids for college â and now heâs going to help pay their tuition.
Today, the local entrepreneur/philanthropist and his wife, Kelly, will announce their Meeting Street Scholarship Fund. The program will supplement the cost of higher education for those who need the help most.
Make no mistake, this is going to change lives.
Basically, anyone who graduates from a Charleston County high school and qualifies for a state lottery LIFE or Palmetto Fellows scholarship
and a federal Pell Grant will be eligible for $10,000 a year from the fund.
