ADAMS, Mass — Berkshire Arts and Technology (BArT) Charter Public School recognizes senior Gianna Fosty as a Chang-Chavkin Scholar.
Named after Arnie Chavkin and Laura Chang, the program helps first-generation college-bound students attend college and succeed. Fosty is one of 8 scholars this year, narrowed down from 50 candidates across ten Berkshire County schools.
Fosty is the third BArT student to receive this opportunity.
The program's mission is to "support rural, high achieving, first-generation students with the funding and resources needed to graduate from a four-year college that meets their potential." As a Chang-Chavkin scholar, Gianna will receive financial scholarships valued up to $15,000 annually for all years of her college experience, supplemental collegiate counseling, and wrap-around support while in college to help ensure graduation.
