Support Low-Income and BIPOC Students to Thrive.

Millions of students from low-income and BIPOC communities face systemic barriers that limit access to education and opportunities. Financial constraints, inequitable resources, and systemic biases make it harder for them to stay in school and pursue their dreams.

Your support makes a real difference. By contributing your time, expertise, or financial resources, you help provide vital mentorship, career guidance, and financial assistance, opening doors for students who need it most. Together, we can create a future where every student has the chance to succeed.

100% of your donation goes directly to funding programs and services that benefit these students.

HOW CAN I HELP?

Donate

An investment that keeps giving. For every $1.00 spent on the SRA program, over $4.00 is returned as direct fiscal benefits represented by increases in federal and state tax receipts (and reductions in federal and state benefits) over the lifetime of SRA students as compared to other low-income, first-generation college students entering four-year colleges1.
