Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

THE MISSION OF THRIVE SCHOLARS IS TO HELP HIGH-ACHIEVING, UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS FROM ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES GET INTO AND GRADUATE FROM TOP COLLEGES EQUIPPED TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL CAREER POTENTIAL.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO HELP HIGH-ACHIEVING, UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM TOP COLLEGES

  • THRIVE SCHOLARS HAS ACHIEVED TREMENDOUS RESULTS IN SUPPORTING SCHOLARS TO ENROLL IN TOP COLLEGES, EARN GREAT GRADES, AND GRADUATE CAREER-READY. OUR RESULTS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS SHOW THAT AT LEAST 92% OF THRIVE SCHOLARS ARE ATTENDING A TOP 100 COLLEGE, OVER 40% ARE GOING TO AN IVY LEAGUE+ SCHOOL (DEFINED AS THE IVY LEAGUE PLUS STANFORD, MIT, THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, AND DUKE), AND 98% GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE WITHIN SIX YEARS. OUR SCHOLARS HAVE AN AVERAGE GPA OF 3.42 UPON COLLEGE GRADUATION; 75% OF STEM SCHOLARS PERSISTED AND GRADUATED WITH A STEM DEGREE, AND OUR FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE SCHOLARS FINISHED THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR WITH AN AVERAGE GPA OF 3.4. OUR SCHOLARS ARE OUTPERFORMING THE GENERAL POPULATION AT TOP 100 COLLEGES, NOT JUST SIMILAR HIGH-ACHIEVING, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS OF COLOR. THEY ARE 10% MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE THAN THEIR MORE PRIVILEGED PEERS AND 25% MORE LIKELY TO PERSIST IN DIFFICULT STEM MAJORS.WE ATTRIBUTE THIS SUCCESS LARGELY TO OUR SIGNATURE SUMMER ACADEMY, A ROBUST 6-WEEK ACADEMIC PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DEMYSTIFY THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE AND EXPOSE FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS TO THE RIGORS OF COLLEGE. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, RESULTS HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMING: OUR SCHOLARS' GPAS INCREASED FROM 2.9 TO 3.4, STEM PERSISTENCE ROSE FROM 20% TO 75%, AND 6-YEAR GRADUATION RATES INCREASED FROM 90% TO 98%.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
