Mission
THE MARIE A. MANSBACH MEMORIAL STUDENT MOTIVATIONAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM IS DEDICATED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF SCHOLARSHIP, CITIZENSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY. MANSBACH SCHOLARS ARE ETHNICALLY DIVERSE STUDENTS, CHOSEN FROM THOSE IN THE NORFOLK PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, WHO SHOW GREAT PROMISE BUT ARE NOT YET STARS. THROUGH MENTORING IN MATHEMATICS, WRITING, QUIET READING, CRITICAL THINKING, REASONING AND COMPREHENSION, THE MANSBACH SCHOLARS RECEIVE A STRONG ACADEMIC FOUNDATION WHICH PREPARES THEM FOR FURTHER EDUCATION. THE FOUNDATION OFFERS COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS TO ITS SCHOLARS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE MULTI-YEAR PROGRAM AND WHO HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE.
