Students react to becoming Act Six 2023 scholarship recipients

Our big goal is to send every child in our neighborhood to college or another form of postsecondary education. One of the greatest barriers to a college education is cost. Through the Act Six program, students receive full-need, full-tuition scholarships to one of our six parter colleges and universities.

One of the highlights of our year is sharing the news with applicants that they have emerged from hundreds of applicants to become one of the 40 scholars chosen to receive the scholarship.

In addition to financial support, each of these young leaders will receive leadership development training and academic support through Urban Ventures during their college career. It is a crucial part of our cradle-to-career structure of support and an pivotal moment in the lives of these students, their families, and our community.

You can make moments like this possible when you donate to Urban Ventures. Will you donate today and help continue expanding access to education and creating more moments like this?
