Give to our Outreach and Wellness Program
Over the last few years, we have found that our first-generation students need more than just an acceptance, they need a guiding hand to graduate and land a job after school. We have mentored our students when they need help with managing finances, finding study resources, getting accommodations and medical care, finding housing, paying for books, and generally having the confidence to succeed.
It costs $100 per year per student to provide semester check-ins and ongoing mentorship. These check-ins help students navigate everything from study resources to financial aid and medical care.
“After applying to colleges and scholarships, one of the biggest helps has been that Barrier Breakers is still so involved in my life. Barrier Breakers still continues to help me figure out what I want to do past college.”
