Help a first-generation Scholar get to and through college.
Many talented students in East Charlotte have the grades and drive for college, but no parent who's been through the process and no counselor with time to spare. With a 395:1 student-to-counselor ratio, they're often left to figure it out alone. GenOne is the someone in their corner, from middle school through college graduation.
Your gift pays for the 1:1 advising, ACT prep, college tours, and financial aid help that get Scholars to college with as little debt as possible.
$3,500 provides a full year of support for one Scholar.
