Campus Bound Scholars' story

THE PROBLEM

High school students who are the first generation in their families
to attend college face overwhelming challenges.

 

They may not know what to expect of college life and have no one to answer their questions. The sad fact is that more than 25% of low-income first-generation students drop out of college by the end of first year, 

and only 40% make it to graduation within six years. 

OUR SOLUTION

Each student selected as a Campus Bound Scholar is matched with a trained adult mentor who provides support, guidance, information and friendship during the summer prior to departure and throughout college.

 

Mentors keep in touch regularly with students and guide them on topics such as time management, academic issues, handling finances, homesickness, and many other challenges encountered by first-gen college students.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you for helping our students beat the odds and graduate from college. Our graduation rate of 95% is far higher than the national 27% graduation rate for first-generation college students.
