College Beyond supports Pell-eligible, first-generation college students to and through college. We support an incredibly diverse group of young people in defining and achieving their dreams. For the past decade, our students have graduated at twice the rate of their peers. With all the policy and funding changes impacting higher education, this work is MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER! One component of our programming includes our Student Ambassador Program. We currently have a group of 12 student leaders who help to advise and shape College Beyond, create welcoming spaces for incoming students, and contribute to local and national advocacy efforts. Three Ambassadors recently joined our staff to advocate in D.C. for continued Pell Grant funding for college students across the nation! Your support helps us grow this vital part of our work and elevate student voices. Please consider joining me in raising funds to empower our students and sustain our mission. Thank you! -Karaline
