Join New Bedford Star Kids Scholarship Program for an unforgettable evening at the New Bedford Whaling Museum as we gather in support of students and families across our community.

Starry Night at the Museum is an immersive gala experience where guests journey through the museum, engaging with exhibits, meeting students, and celebrating the transformative power of education. Together, we will help light the way for students as they navigate toward brighter futures.

Great food, beautiful environment and a wonderful cause that supports students and families across the community.

New Bedford Star Kids Scholarship Program provides scholarships and wraparound support to K-12 students from families impacted by incarceration and substance abuse. By investing in educational opportunities, enriching experiences, and social and emotional wellbeing, we empower young people to break the intergenerational cycle, pursue their hopes and dreams, and strengthen their communities.
