Attending college can seem daunting and overwhelming for many high school students. With the cost of tuition on the rise and the competitive nature of college admissions, it’s no wonder that students often feel unsure of where to turn for guidance. This is where CPASS comes in – a new program to provide rising juniors and seniors with the support and resources they need to succeed in college and beyond.

Congratulations, seniors! You’ve worked hard to get accepted into college and are one step closer to achieving your dreams. However, you may have noticed that the cost of college can be a significant burden, especially for students from underrepresented communities. Did you know that Black and African American college graduates owe an average of $25,000 more in student loan debt than White college graduates? That staggering statistic highlights the need for financial assistance to help students bridge the gap. To help address this issue, we’re hosting a College and Scholarship Working Session.

As the deadline for the Education Equalizer Foundation Million-Dollar Scholar Brunch approaches, we want to remind the Gainesville community about this significant event. This brunch is a celebration of academic excellence, an opportunity to recognize our future leaders, and a chance for us to come together as a community.

Tickets for the event are $40.00, and there are only 10 tickets left. The deadline to purchase tickets is Wednesday, April 26. This is a rare opportunity to be part of an event that celebrates academic excellence, inspires and motivates, and brings our community together. By attending the Million-Dollar Scholar Brunch, you will be supporting the Education Equalizer Foundation’s mission and contributing to a more equitable future for all students.

As we approach the Amazing Give campaign, we want to share the inspiring stories of two of our students who have benefitted greatly from our organization’s guidance and support.

We are excited to announce that Asley and Jose from Noble Sheep will be the keynote speakers for the upcoming Million Dollar Scholar Brunch on April 29 at 11a at Greater Bethel AME Church.

During the UF College of Medicine’s annual Celebration of Diversity Week, faculty, students, staff and community members gathered to acknowledge the strides the college has made toward greater diversity, equity and inclusion, and to hold discussions about how the college can improve.
