Provide disadvantaged communities with innovative learning experiences.
All people have equitable access to resources and learning to meaningfully progress their lives forward.


We maintain a consistently updated, centralized database (Hub) of vetted local and regional scholarships. This resource is designed to bridge information gaps, ensuring all communities have equitable access to reliable funding opportunities.

Our comprehensive, modular online course transforms our in-person seminar content into a self-paced learning tool. Participants gain in-depth scholarship literacy and practical skills through navigatable modules, allowing them to master the process at their convenience.

We offer customized scholarship workshops and seminars for non-school organizations (e.g., parent groups, churches, community departments). Delivery is subject to facilitator availability and capacity, and may include our Scholarship Guide, a curated list, and online course access.

We partner with public, private, and charter schools/districts to provide robust, funded services. We encourage leveraging resources like Title I funding to offer seminars, virtual modules, and tracking tools directly to students, counselors, and college/career advisors.

Limited, hour-long individual or small-group sessions are offered on select weekday evenings or weekends. Approval is based on capacity, and requires a pre-session intake form. Participants receive our Scholarship Guide and access to our virtual platform. (Link to booking page here).

Upon request, we provide our physical Scholarship Guides to organizations for distribution to students, parents, and families. Requests for reasonable quantities, with sufficient notice, may be fulfilled at no cost to the requesting organization.
