BLF Foundation

BLF Foundation A 501(c)(3) nonprofits focused on the development, graduation, and retention of minority college students through mentorship and scholarship programs.

Every year, there are millions of college students that embark upon a collegiate degree. Statistically, minority students struggle with retention at most colleges and universities.*The six-year graduation rate for most minority students is 43%. The 43% of minority graduates represents only 14-16% of the total US population of minorities. Between 1995 and 2015, among blacks, the percentage with bac

helor’s degrees went up by only six percentage points, from 15 to 21 percent, and for Hispanics it had risen seven percentage points, from 9 to 16 percent. BLF Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded to address the need for mentorship and scholarship of minority students. Through our scholarship, we are able to assist with the many costs of attending college. To ensure that these students have the best guidance during their collegiate years, we pair them with mentors to help them gain perspective and wisdom from those ahead of their path.
