John Ben Snow
Memorial Trust

The John Ben Snow Memorial Trust issued a grant to support two collaborative programs between member colleges and public schools (grade 1-9) in rural areas or inner cities. Participating in this innovative program were: Alfred University (Alfred, NY) and Manhattanville College (Purchase, NY). The Snow Public/Private Learning collaboration identified an academic area in the public schools which benefited from the uses of technology, the involvement of college faculty, and the active participation by college students serving as mentors.
