Our Impact

The Need

51% of students in U.S. public schools —that’s 25 million — are low-income.

Only 9% of low-income
students earn a Bachelor’s 
degree—compared to 77% of their high-income peers

While the college graduation rate for high income students has nearly doubled in the past 40 years, the graduation rate for low income students has stagnated.

The Impact

90% of our students complete high school,
compared to 74% of low-income students nationally.

Dreamers are 3x more likely to earn a bachelor’s
degree than their
low-income peers.

College graduates earn, on average, an additional $1 Million in lifetime earnings.

Our Dreamers

Most Dreamers are the first in their families to graduate college—53.06% do
 not have a parent or guardian with a 4 year degree.

We have served nearly 613 Dreamer Scholars since 2006.

All of our
Dreamers come from low-income families,
with 100% qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
