College Decisions Are Here!

Congratulations to the 26 First Graduate® seniors who are headed off to colleges and universities across the country this fall.

We are so proud of all the hard work these students put in throughout the years to make this moment possible. Their college journey may have just begun, but we already can’t wait to see what great things they’ll do next.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported these students throughout their journey, and a special thanks to our high school team for their late nights and dedicated work advising students throughout the college application and financial aid process!

To Everyone Who Attended Cap & Gown 2023: Thank You!

As we celebrate our newest graduates, remember that first-generation students can move from sixth grade through college graduation and into meaningful careers because of you and your support! And we couldn’t do it without the help of our corporate supporters: Hamilton Zanze, Dodge & Cox, Accenture, Adobe, KPMG, BSSP, Millennium Career Advantage, and GoodRx.

Ramadan Mubarak!

Despite how difficult they can be to get, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of scholarships. Especially for a first-generation student, a scholarship can be the difference between being able to go to college and not.
