WHAT IS STRIVE?

Strive for College is an innovative college mentoring program that connects motivated, low-income high school students with undergraduate mentors, who guide them through the college application process and into enrollment at four-year universities and colleges, providing them with opportunities and resources to break the cycle of poverty forever.

FACT OF THE WEEK

Every year, more than 200,000 low-income students graduate from high school in America ready to go to college – but do not.
