The Paula Titus Scholarship Fund provides financial support to a graduate of the Boston Public Schools, Chelsea High School, and/or Taunton High School, enrolled in the New Balance Sports Leadership Program at UMass Boston. This fund is designed to attract and support students form traditionally underserved communities. The selection process will consider students who have completed pre-freshman programs such as Base, Urban Scholars, DSP, and Upward Bound. Eligible students must maintain a GPA of 3.3 or greater and be an active participant in cocurricular activities within the Sports Leadership and Administration field. The scholarship honors Paula Titus, the wife of longtime UMass Boston men’s basketball coach and former Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation, Special Projects, and Programs Charlie Titus.

The foundation has also started a mini-grant program that aides small grassroots organizations engaged in impactful youth development work. https://titusfoundation.org/what-we-do/

The foundation is an example of what one family can do to make our communities stronger by focusing on nurturing our young people and creating pathways for tomorrow’s leaders.
