LeBron James is giving kids from Akron — ones with challenging backgrounds
like his — the chance to go to college for free.
LeBron James将提供阿克隆生活艰苦的孩子免费上大学的机会,
The NBA star has partnered with the University of Akron to provide a
guaranteed four-year scholarship to the school for students in James' "I
Promise" program who qualify. The scholarship will cover tuition and the
university's general service fee — currently $9,500 per year. James told
ESPN he plans to provide this for 1,100 kids, which would cost his foundation
a total of $41.8 million at the school's current rates.
James与阿克隆大学(University of Akron)合作, 他会提供符合资格的学生就读阿克隆
大学的奖学金, 共四年. James的"I Promise"奖学金方案包含了学费以及学杂费, 一年
下来的总额为9,500美金. James告诉ESPN, 他预计会资助1,100位学子, 而James的基金会
将会为此奖学金方案支付总额41.8M的美金.
It's the latest example of James, who often refers to himself "as just a kid
from Akron," giving back to a community that helped raise him.
James常称自己"只是来自阿克隆的孩子", 阿克隆助James成长茁壮, 而这次的奖学金
方案则是他最近回馈乡里的行动.
"It's the reason I do what I do," said James, who announced the program
Thursday while hosting an event for students at Cedar Point Amusement Park.
"These students have big dreams, and I'm happy to do everything I can to help
them get there. They're going to have to earn it, but I'm excited to see what
these kids can accomplish knowing that college is in their futures."
"It means so much because, as a kid growing up in the inner city and a lot of
African-American kids, you don't really think past high school," said James,
who bypassed college to jump to the NBA. "You don't really know your future.
You hear high school all the time, and you graduate high school and then you
never think past that because either it's not possible or your family's not
financially stable to even be able to support a kid going to college."
"这些学生们都有远大的梦想, 很高兴我能尽我所能帮助他们达成目标. 他们必需自己挣得
奖学金, 我很想看看, 当这些孩子们知道可以上学时, 他们会完成什么样的事."
"这非常的有意义, 对一个在郊区长大的孩子, 以及许多非裔孩子而言, 你不会觉得他们能
上大学," James说道, 他跳过了大学直接进入NBA. "对你的未来, 你并不会很了解.
你常常听到人们讲著高中, 而你也从高中毕业了, 但你从未想过让学业继续, 不是真的
不可能, 要不然就是家庭经济不稳, 无法提供孩子上大学."
In recent months, James and members of his foundation met with Akron
President Dr. Scott Scarborough hoping to establish a program that would have
long-term impact on the community. The result was an initiative they believe
will inspire the area's youth to achieve and reach their potential.
最近的几个月, James及他基金会的成员与阿克隆大学的校长会了面, 他们希望建立一个
方案以久远的影响Akron这个地方. 他们相信这个方案能让在地的青年激发他们的潜能.
