Summer college tour to San Jose State University

One of our goals in First Graduate® is to inspire and motivate our students to go to college. On June 22nd, 2022, we had the opportunity to do just that, and our FG high school students toured San Jose State University’s campus, talked to admission staff in order to better understand college life, and observe a teacher conducting a class. Additionally, they enjoyed a nice trip to Great America to celebrate their great efforts after a very challenging second school year of the pandemia.

This was the first time our students visited a college since the beginning of the pandemic, and we look forward to more visits like this – only possible with the support of our donors and supporters.

All of this support-driven success is only possible because of the contributions from our donors. That’s why we’re offering you the opportunity to support our generation-changing organization with donations to our end-of-fiscal year campaign. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the end of this month to sustain the positive impact we have on our First Graduate® students in a way that changes their lives forever.

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.
