BEST WISHES to the Class of 2023!
It’s more than just a scholarship
A Nationwide Foundation providing performance-based scholarships to ensure low-income students are equipped for success.
Our Mission.
And how we fulfill it.
In today’s economy, employers’ demand for an educated workforce is steadily rising. Policymakers, education leaders, and communities across the country recognize the need to improve college attendance and success, but are constrained by tight budgets. Meanwhile students themselves face mounting college costs, and financial aid has not been able to keep pace.
Educapital Foundation provides opportunity for financially needy post-secondary students nationwide - without regard to race or religion - by offering scholarships to better, safer and values-based independent schools that help students to reach their full potential.
What is Educapital?
A simple but great idea.
In 2013, Educapital Foundation was begun by two visionaries with an inspired idea: that it is possible to materially and permanently improve the lives of the poorest of inner-city students nationwide, by providing them with access to capital, and the superior and safer option of values-based schools.
Since that time, Educapital has provided thousands of scholarships for many of the most financially disadvantaged students, enabling them to attend accredited state and trade schools. These students have gone on to have productive careers, positively impacting their families and their communities. These remarkable results have been made possible through the support of many companies, schools, and individuals also seeking to make a difference in the lives of inner-city students.
MDRC researcher Lashawn Richburg-Hayes summarizes promising findings about performance-based scholarships that boosted academic achievement and retention rates at two New Orleans-area community colleges.
Why it works?
A shared belief.
Educapital’s solution works so well because our donors hold a deep belief in common with the families they help. They believe a high-quality, values-based education will be life changing for the students. Donors understand that the only thing preventing these students from achieving their educational goals is their families’ financial circumstances.
Whether the partner schools are vocational, community, or state colleges and universities, donors are assured these schools will not only provide an excellent academic structure but build character and instill positive values. The students thrive in these safe environments where they are surrounded by positive peer groups.
The Challenge
Poorly performing schools.
Many schools in low income areas offer sub-par education and have high drop-out rates. Drug use and violence are common. The environment is not conducive for learning. Academic standards are often lowered. Even with typically reduced graduation requirements, high school graduation rates are low.
