Level Up Cincinnati Information

Only 1 in 10 low-income, first-generation college students earns a degree. Not because they lack talent - because they're navigating college without the support system their peers take for granted. Level Up Cincinnati closes that gap. We connect first-generation students from lower-income families with the mentors, scholarships, and professional network that turn potential into a career. Every Level Up scholar receives: • A $5,000 renewable annual scholarship, in partnership with the University of Cincinnati • Two dedicated coaches: a Transition Coach for the early college years and a Career Coach as graduation approaches • Professional development in financial literacy, mental wellness, personal branding, and career success • Access to the Launch Network of local professionals, corporate partners, and alumni We're not a program students pass through. We treat everyone involved like family - scholars, coaches, and partners alike - and we stay with our scholars from their first day on campus through graduation and into their careers. Want in?
