Your support of this event provides ambitious first-generation college students with a structured career development curriculum, one-on-one mentorship from talented young professionals and access to extensive professional networks. Through your support of the Fellows Program, students maintain enrollment in school and make the critical connection between college and careers.
At a time when only 21% of low-income, first-generation college students graduate from college, your generosity enables students to achieve outstanding results. On average, over the past 10 years:
• Over 90% of students complete internships.
• Over 90% of program alumni graduate from college within six years of enrollment.
• Nearly 90% of graduates secure employment or enroll in graduate programs within six months of earning their degrees.
