What do you think of when you hear, “the future is now?”?? ?? When we think of the future, we think of Sebastian, a College Track scholar studying political science at American University. Among his many dreams are interning at the White House and running for public office, either as a state senator or a state delegate. “My goal has always been to lift up my community, to represent my community, to help my community,” says Sebastian. Sebastian is one of the many scholars we serve, who by becoming the first in their families to earn a bachelor’s degree, are dedicated to lighting the way for their families, communities, and the world at large. This giving season, invest to support the leaders of tomorrow on their journeys to lives of opportunity, choice, purpose, and power. There’s no time to wait. The future is now.

关于我们
College Track is a comprehensive college completion program that equips students confronting systemic barriers to earn a bachelor's degree, in pursuit of a life of opportunity, choice, and power. From ninth grade through college graduation, our 10-year program removes the academic, financial, and social-emotional barriers that prevent first-generation students from low-income communities from earning their college degree. In 1997, we started with 25 students in East Palo Alto, and today, we have twelve centers located in communities across California, Colorado, Louisiana, and the D.C. Metro Area with 3,800 scholars and 952 alumni on the path to upward social mobility. College Track scholars graduate from college at a rate that is two and a half times the national average for first-generation college students from low-income communities. One year out of college, 84% of our recent graduates are employed full-time, and 90% of alumni 30 years and older report earnings greater than their parents. By supporting our students to maximize the value of their college degree—minimize student loan debt, secure internships, and limit the need to work while in college—we prepare them to succeed in the 21st century economy.
