KAWE - Students First
60 minute documentary - Explore and examine the early years of the "Students First" mentorship program in Bemidji which pairs students with dedicated community mentors to help students succeed in life.
$4,150,000 the first year and $3,900,000 the second year are to the Minnesota Public Television Association for production and acquisition grants according to Minnesota Statutes, section 129D.18. Of this amount, $650,000 the first year is for a grant to Twin Cities Public Television to produce the Vietnam: Minnesota Remembers project. Any production costs associated with this project incurred on or after February 1, 2017, are eligible for reimbursement under this section as long as these funds are available under subdivision 2.
Viewers will report an increased interest, understanding, and knowledge of the innovative "Students First" mentorship program in the Bemidji school district. Our hopes are that more students and community members will take part to help sustain the program, which benefits students in their formative years.
