Today's Students, Tomorrow's Teachers (TSTT) is a 501c3 organization founded in 1994 by Dr. Bettye Perkins, Ed.D and headquartered in Westchester County, NY. TSTT is currently in operation in four states (New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia). Our mission is to recruit , mentor and train culturally diverse, economically challenged students, who are academically qualifed high school students, as early as 9th grade and work with them through a collaborative model and ensure they not only graduate high school but are prepared for success in college. Through our 24 college partnerships we offer 50% tuition scholarships, and upon graduation from college, we assist them in entering the teaching profession where they are then placed in positions as certified teachers. In a full circle model these new leaders strengthen their communities as highly qualified educators. To date. we have mentored nearly 1000 students and placed over 150 teachers in teaching positions.
