Only 14% of students from low-income backgrounds graduate college.

We are asking a few key people to rally their friends, family, and networks to support our work. By becoming a fundraiser for Education First, you will help more low-income youth leave generational poverty by completing college.

Starting a fundraiser is easy to do. We'll give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. With your help we can ensure a better life for our scholars and their families.
