“A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”® For more than seven decades, this principle has remained at the heart of UNCF, enabling us to raise more than $5 billion and help more than 500,000 students and counting not just attend college, but thrive, graduate and become leaders. We do this in three ways: By awarding more than 10,000 students scholarships, worth more than $100 million, each year. By providing financial support to 37 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). And by serving as the nation’s leading advocate for the importance of minority education and community engagement. This three-pronged approach is powerful: Since our founding in 1944, we’ve helped to more than double the number of minorities attending college. The six-year graduation rate for UNCF African American scholarship recipient is 70%. This is 11% higher than the national average and 31% higher than the national average for all African Americans.

At College Possible, we believe in the transformative power of opportunity. Since 2000, we’ve helped nearly 100,000 students from low-income backgrounds and first-generation families turn their dreams of higher education into reality. Our mission is to make college admission and completion achievable for every student, regardless of their circumstances. From high school through college graduation, our dedicated coaches provide personalized support tailored to each student’s goals and challenges. Coaches guide students through every step of the college journey—helping them navigate admissions, secure financial aid, plan courses, manage responsibilities, and connect to resources—so students can not only get into college but thrive once they’re there. We combine this hands-on guidance with innovative technology solutions. Coach Possible (https://www.coachpossible.org) is our AI-powered coaching platform, built on 25 years of expertise, that provides timely guidance to students when coaches are unavailable, ensuring consistent support. CoPilot (https://www.collegepossible.org/copilot), our student information system, helps our teams and partner schools track progress, measure outcomes, and deliver data-driven support. Together, these tools help scale our impact while maintaining the personal relationships central to student success. Headquartered in Saint Paul, MN, College Possible operates regional sites in Austin, TX; Chicago, IL; Milwaukee, WI; Omaha, NE; Portland, OR; Saint Paul, MN; and Seattle, WA. We also collaborate through Catalyze partnerships in California, Minnesota, New York, Tennessee, and Texas to expand access to college success nationwide. Our work is guided by a simple principle: every student deserves the knowledge, tools, and encouragement to succeed. Learn more at CollegePossible.org.
