Four sisters, Karen, Karlene, Karolyn, and Camille founded Sisters 4 Sisters, Inc. in the spirit of the sisterhood and friendship that they have maintained throughout their lives. Recognizing the value and importance of a college education, the sisters started the scholarship program to support the efforts of first-generation college-bound African American females.
The board of Sisters 4 Sisters, Inc. is composed of founding members and other college educated African American women committed to the overall vision of the organization
The organization will provide scholarships and mentors to African American females as they pursue their undergraduate degree.
Almost all of the Sisters 4 Sisters, Inc. mentors grew up and attended high schools in Queens, New York. Most continued their education in New York colleges and universities, public and private, including Hunter College, Queens College, New York University and Columbia University, Teachers College. A few of the mentors attended schools out of the state including Spelmen College in Atlanta, GA., and the University of California at Berkeley. Most mentors have earned at least a Masters degree, and some have earned law degrees and Doctorates. Our mentors are employed in various professions, including school administration, law, school counseling, academia, and finance
