College Track walks with first-generation scholars from ninth grade through college graduation and into their careers \u2014 because we believe a bachelor's degree remains the single greatest lever for economic, professional, and social mobility in this country. Our scholars earn their degrees at more than twice the rate of their first-generation peers, going on to become scientists, engineers, teachers, artists, and advocates \u2014 finding solutions to our most pressing problems and building a future in which we all flourish.<\/p>\r\n
The future starts here.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Your investment lights the way for our scholars to pursue the lives of opportunity, choice, purpose, and power that they deserve. Together, we can amplify the talent within our communities and inspire a movement towards educational equity across the nation.<\/p>","links":[{"link":""}],"cta":{"title":"Donate","url":"https:\/\/donate.collegetrack.org\/give\/124082#!\/donation\/checkout?amount=25","target":"_blank"}}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_cards","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_cards":{"title":"Ways to Give","link":"","abstract":"","cards":[{"title":" See how your gift helps first-generation scholars earn a bachelor\u2019s degree and build a life of opportunity, choice, purpose, and power.","abstract":"","image":"","link":""},{"title":"The Gift of Today
