Scholarships, laptops and GED support for students who refuse to quit
Quality education shouldn't depend on a family's bank account. We fund scholarships for college, community college and the trades, and provide the computer and internet access school now requires.
Who it's for
First-generation, low-income, GED and returning students; student athletes and artists; and future electricians, welders, mechanics and other skilled trade workers.
What we cover
- Scholarships for college, community college and trade programs
- Laptops and internet access
- GED test prep and returning-student support
- Bilingual help with applications and financial aid
Why it matters
Students from the lowest-income families go to college at about a third the rate of the wealthiest, and one in four low-income teens has no computer at home.97

Every gift pays for something real: a registration fee, a uniform, a camera, a laptop, a scholarship, a mentor's time.
