Founded a non-profit organization created with students for students. We understand that there are millions of individuals that have a dream of furthering their education to the collegiate level, but are often hampered by finances. Statistics show that 30% of college students leave within their first year and almost 50% never graduate, mostly due to financial stressors. Funding for educational programs help many, but often fall short even for those within their boundaries. So many times prospective students do not fit into the neat little box that states require for their grants and awards. We were developed to do a little something extra for any student in need.What we provide:1. Minimal food provisions2. Gift cards for school supplies3. Career development4. Housing resources5. Case management6. Resource referrals7. Scholarships8. Volunteer experience9. Peer connection
