The Breakthrough Honor Roll

Together, your generosity provides the personalized guidance, resources, and encouragement first-generation students need to navigate the path to and through college—from middle school through college graduation.

What’s my impact?

Your Honor Roll gift makes a difference for students as they transition from high school to college, providing:

• Family Conferences for every student and their family to select the
best fit college, plus a plan to fund school and living expenses
