Do you know what sets Next Gen Scholars apart?

 

They do not only excel academically, but they also step up in the community with strong, authentic voices. To top it off, they demonstrate a deep commitment to giving back.

Thanks to your support and generosity, we are running full speed and growing constantly. In fact, a new batch of Next Gen College Scholars are starting their first college semesters as you read this!

One of them, Manuel, is starting his first year at UC Santa Cruz and shares how his involvement in NGS has transformed him personally:

We are proud of the fact that 100% of NGS Academy Graduates have earned admissions to four-year colleges. We also know how important it is to engage politically, to vote, and to give back to the community. The Pew Research Center found that people with college degrees voted more consistently in the last three elections than those people without.

College graduates are also more engaged in the community. The 2021 US Census Bureau shows that graduates are more philanthropic and more willing to volunteer their time, contributing to the collective good.

The difference and the impact of higher education on students is palpable; you are helping us change the trajectory of entire families, while creating positive ripple effects through society.

 

We would be thrilled for you to join us to meet our young people firsthand.

 

Our annual Open House event is on October 20th, and we cannot wait to showcase the collective impact of the community.
