Emerge

High-achieving students from low-income backgrounds often face significant barriers when it comes to accessing the nation’s top colleges. EMERGE partners with local school districts to help these students ignite their potential and gain access to top colleges that offer generous financial aid. EMERGE students graduate at eight times the national average for students in their demographic, frequently with minimal debt. Even more, they learn to maximize their unique strengths and talents and embrace their identities to become influential leaders in their own lives and communities.
