Help first-gen students get to college!

The pandemic has been extremely tough for first-generation, low-income students. In RI and across the country, young people are delaying college or leaving college due to financial distress, family responsibilities, health problems, and overall stress and fear for the future. That's why the work of College Visions is more important than ever! We are here to tell students that a college degree might feel like just a dream but it really is an achievable goal!

 

In November, we celebrate First-Gen Student Day (Nov 8) and #GivingTuesday. Will you help us raise $9,000 during November? That is $100 per high school student CV will serve this year. These funds ensure college trips, expert advice on applying for financial aid, help with college essays, college affordability counseling for students and their families, and a supportive mentor who is available to meet, talk, or text. With your support, CV students stay on track. They apply to college, enroll, and earn degrees at rates that are sometimes higher than their wealthy peers!

 

Can you make a gift today in any amount? Your gift of $10, $20, $50, $100, or $200 supports a student right now and it will also keep giving for generations!
