College Beyond

College Beyond empowers and supports Southeastern Louisiana students from underserved communities to enroll in and complete college degrees.

This GiveNOLA Day, we are raising money for College Beyond’s 1:1 trauma-informed coaching, workshops, and emergency financial support. Every gift goes directly toward helping first-generation and low-income students stay in college, graduate, and enter the workforce.

This year, we need to raise $15,000 to respond to the 300% increase in demand for emergency support and help more students stay enrolled. Your gift of any size makes that possible.

To. Through. Together. 

$25.00      Provides one student coaching session

$75.00      Covers one semester of coaching for a student 

$150.00    Replaces a broken phone needed for 2-factor authentication to access course materials 

$500.00    Closes one small tuition balance so a student can remain enrolled

Testimonials

Malia’ Bartholomew, Class of 2025-  Interdisciplinary Studies: Business in Urban Society

"College Beyond allowed me to align my skills with an actual career rather than what I thought I wanted to do, but actually looking at my skills and applying those to a career. They gave me opportunities to network and be in rooms that I was not used to. Having a leadership role in my work now, a lot of values that I see College Beyond has, I would like to integrate them more into my own work."

Herman Dayries, Class of 2025 Graduate, Interim Director of Internal Audit at the University of New Orleans.

"College Beyond taught me strong leadership skills during my time as a student ambassador, and the program gave me a space to work through the roadblocks that could have held me back. The coaches were truly indispensable and helped me stay focused, grow, and reach where I am today."
