What they reported doing
- #1 primary $0Supporting Scholars To and Through Post-Secondary Education. We leverage the transformative power of education to help our scholars realize their goals. This includes providing opportunities to connect scholars to college, internships, and career tracks earlier in their lives through our Envision U week-long event, while also providing standardized test prep and support with college selection, applications, campus visits, and student aid applications, all done in significant collaboration with our university partners. We also assist graduating high school seniors with College Transition Plans that include financial planning, and collegians with College Persistence Plans that include check-ins with college success team members. To further help scholars stay on track in post-secondary education, we join forces with affiliates to reduce debt by providing scholarship support. Eligible scholars are enrolled in 15 credit hours and earn a 2.5 or higher GPA. In addition to our high college persistence rates, more than 80% of our collegians are at or below the threshold of $5,500 of debt per year, compared to the national annual average of approximately $10,000 (calculated using Student Loan Hero's four-year estimate of $39,400).

- Performance-Based Scholarship Modelmethodology: performance-based_scholarshipsBy conditioning scholarship support on academic progress (e.g., 15 credit hours and 2.5+ GPA), the organization promotes college persistence and reduces student debt because measurable academic benchmarks foster accountability, encourage consistent enrollment, and reinforce a culture of achievement.
- University-Partner Collaborationmethodology: university-partner_collaborationBy collaborating with university partners, Boys Hope Girls Hope enhances college access and success outcomes for scholars because institutional partnerships provide structured support, resources, and pathways that increase retention and graduation rates.
