Currently, the foundation has 75 scholars within it's program. Two incredible features of this program are the detailed mentor-ship and community partnership components. The founders, Eda and Cliff Viner spent over a year researching different foundations prior to forming the scholars foundation. During their discovery they learned that students experience various social and educational pressures during while attending college. Thus they created a detailed mentor-ship program so that each one of their scholars could have a mentor to speak with and gain advice from. The Viner Scholars Foundation also partners with local businesses with in the community to offer students complimentary services while attending university. These services include various medical appointments, counseling, housing and school book grants and more.
