C.L.A.S.S. Inc.

Our mission is to empower youth through education and leadership. For over 19 years, we have been dedicated to providing scholarships to high school seniors to further their education while offering leadership training and mentorship. Our focus is to increase the number of students furthering their education after high school. We understand the dramatic change it makes in a young person's life when they continue to learn in a formal setting like college, where they are challenged to be their best and think creatively. Often, the confines of the familiar can limit dreams and cause students to settle for what they have always seen. Most of our students are first-generation college students from economically challenged backgrounds and single-parent homes. We literally take them by the hand and show them what is possible for them to achieve. Then we provide a financial investment to support their next steps via the scholarship while continuing to walk alongside them on the journey. To date, C.L.A.S.S. Inc. has awarded 256 scholarships.  Over 90% of our young people have attended and completed degree programs, and 20% have completed post-graduate work. Each scholarship is  $1000, helping students cover essential college expenses, and is 100% funded through donations.

At C.L.A.S.S. INC. (Cultivating Leaders Achieving Scholastic Success) goal is to serve those in need, provide opportunity for growth, and build a stronger, more compassionate society. Over the years, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative effect that a single act of kindness can have on an individual, a family, and an entire community. Whether it is offering food to the hungry, shelter to those without a home, educational resources to eager learners, or a caring hand to those who feel alone, our commitment remains unwavering.

Every dollar you donate is a seed planted in fertile ground. With your contribution, we assist promising students with big dreams and financial barriers to college. Through our scholarship fund, they can now pursue a degree in the field of study they desire and aspire to give back to future students.
