Emily dreamed of going to college but didn’t know how to get there alone.

Through our College & Career Program, Emily received one-on-one guidance, application support, and college readiness resources that helped her pursue her future with confidence. Now, she's headed to Chapman University with scholarships covering nearly all her tuition.

Today, your gift can help more students like Emily access college support, guidance, and opportunity.
