Help Us Serve More Students

Sponsor a Scholarship

Will you help us? It costs us $165 to get one student to college. This investment changes a person forever and lasts a lifetime. Can you give $165 to help one student to college?

Sponsor a scholarship for any amount of money starting at $250. You can name the scholarship in Honor of or in Memory of someone close to you. All of the money will go directly to a needy student to help pay for tuition, books, room and board, or needed school supplies.

The scholarship will be awarded through an application process run by Reach for College! The student recipient will write you a personal thank you letter and you can choose to continue contact with your student recipient or not, as you'd like. Contact us for further information.

"The passion and experience of this group is extremely inspiring. One by one, they give kids a chance. Every dollar is used more efficiently than I have ever seen at any other organization. I have no doubt that my investment of both money and time to this organization will pay huge dividends in the lives of these young people, and thereby to the community at large."
~Donor & volunteer

"Reach for College is an extraordinary organization. It truly fills a great need and in many ways saves lives. The concept is clear, the materials are great, and the organization operates with minimum staff, placing almost all the dollars into the program. It is run by a highly dedicated leadership who saw the need and did something about it. The program needs funds to spread the program across the US. A better investment cannot be found."
