Minds Matter helps accomplished students from low-income families prepare for college success.

Minds Matter is a comprehensive and highly-successful three-year program that empowers young people from low-income families to achieve college readiness and success. The organization was founded in New York City in 1991 by six Wall Street professionals who understood that the gap in low-income student achievement is not one of intelligence, but resources. Minds Matter has developed a successful p

rogram incorporating tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment experiences that prepare students for bright futures. Through an intensive and holistic mentoring and academic program, we provide a culture of excellence and rigorous performance standards for our students. We raise their expectations, broaden their dreams, and equip them with a toolkit for future success. Minds Matter achieves a 100% college acceptance rate for our students at quality institutions across the country. Being a graduate of Minds Matter is a mark of hard work, commitment, and achievement to potential colleges and employers.

🩺 Early exposure to healthcare careers can be life-changing — especially for high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds who may not otherwise have access to these opportunities.

This summer, we're proud to be funding coursework AND travel for students pursuing their interest in medicine:

✈️ Mini Med School at Tufts University
✈️ Hands-On Medicine: A Week in the Life of a Medical Student at Brown University
✈️ Medicine & Healthcare at UC Berkeley through the National Student Leadership Conference

Congratulations to these amazing students — we can't wait to hear all about it when you're back! 🎉

Flashback to early January 🔬

Thank you to for a wonderful tour - our students and mentors loved seeing 3D printers, seeing how labs function, and learning how careers in medicine and technology intersect.
