  • Supporting Scholars To and Through Post-Secondary Education. We leverage the transformative power of education to help our scholars realize their goals. This includes providing opportunities to connect scholars to college, internships, and career tracks earlier in their lives through our Envision U week-long event, while also providing standardized test prep and support with college selection, applications, campus visits, and student aid applications, all done in significant collaboration with our university partners. We also assist graduating high school seniors with College Transition Plans that include financial planning, and collegians with College Persistence Plans that include check-ins with college success team members. To further help scholars stay on track in post-secondary education, we join forces with affiliates to reduce debt by providing scholarship support. Eligible scholars are enrolled in 15 credit hours and earn a 2.5 or higher GPA. In addition to our high college persistence rates, more than 80% of our collegians are at or below the threshold of $5,500 of debt per year, compared to the national annual average of approximately $10,000 (calculated using Student Loan Hero's four-year estimate of $39,400).

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
