Summer Freeze- Countdown to College Leaderboard

The Problem: Summer Melt

Summer Melt is a surprisingly common scenario in which high-school graduates apply, are accepted, and say they plan to enroll in college—but don’t. This phenomenon disproportionately impacts students of color, first-generation students, and students from high-need communities.

To alleviate these obstacles, Elevation Scholars’ College Success Department offers a 2-prong solution: intrusive advising and annual wrap around support beginning in April of our student’s Senior Year. This, combined with many complimentary program components, has led to a 99% enrollment and 100% graduation rate thus far. 

Help Us Freeze The Melt

Help Us Freeze The Melt

The Elevation Scholars Award is the pinnacle of our programming and ensures Scholars are supported TO and THROUGH the college education they have earned. Our College Success offerings help students develop skills, behaviors, and habits that ensure they begin and succeed in college. 

Our transition efforts include but are not limited to:

  • A 2 day-Summer 201:College Transition Retreat
  • Gifting dorm kits
  • On-demand coaching to enrollment tasks
  • Summer networking events.

Your gift today will ensure we can help 18 class 9 Scholars begin their first day on campus prepared for college at schools like Georgetown University, Macalester College, Purdue University, and Columbia University to name a few.  

The Little Things That Make A BIG Difference

Dorm necessities are just one of the many expenses not covered by Financial Aid. At Elevation Scholars, each and everyone our our college-bound students are gifted a customizable dorm kit. That way,  students can focus on what really matters and less on the price tag on college dreams
