[H2] Wynn Phillips
Earned $54,385
from Susquehanna University
"I found Raise Me helpful because I really didn't have
any direction towards schools and the cost was a huge
concern going into it. Raise Me opened my eyes to schools
that are willing to give back to their students and that
was very important to me."

Earned $5,551
from Florida International University
"Raise Me is one of the easiest and most helpful scholarship
opportunities someone can apply for. […] All students
have to do is enter their information and get awarded for their
hard work. Raise Me is the reason I don't have to stress to cough
up money for college. I appreciate them everyday and I hope every
high school student takes the time to apply and be rewarded.
Thank you, Raise Me!"

[H2] Jesus Guadalupe Valenzuela
Earned $6,575
from University of Arizona
"Raise Me motivated me throughout high school by allowing
me to visualize the amount of financial aid that I was eligible
to receive for my various accomplishments. I was eager to raise
that amount as the years progressed. By incorporating myself in
the activities I already enjoyed such as basketball, A.P. courses
and extracurricular clubs, it was easy to be rewarded. […]
It's organizations like Raise Me that inspire the young minds of
my generation to do their best."

[H2] Our Mission
At Raise Me, we’re expanding access to higher education so that every student has a shot at the American Dream

Raise Me is a social enterprise focused on expanding access to higher education, especially among low income and first generation students. Rather than waiting until the end of high school to earn scholarships, which is often too late to impact a student's college ambitions or choices, Raise Me enables students to earn scholarships throughout high school, starting as early as 9th grade, for doing all the things that best prepare them to succeed, whether that’s getting good grades, volunteering in the community or joining an extracurricular.

"Raise Me enables students to earn scholarships throughout high school, starting as early as 9th grade..."

Over a million students - representing 2 out of 3 high schools in America - have signed up to earn 'micro-scholarships' from a diverse set of colleges and universities, including Northeastern, Colby, Penn State, Michigan State, Tulane and Rollins College. At Raise Me, we're focused every day on making sure every student has the opportunity to achieve their college ambitions and go as far as their skills and smarts will take them.
