The students in our first launch class (class of 2021) graduated from college in may 2025.

Our university of richmond graduate, lay'la harmon, received a fulbright scholarship to university of Pennsylvania for a graduate program in city and regional planning. Students in launch classes (2022 - 2025) are pursuing degrees in fashion design (thomas jefferson university), culinary arts (drexel university), exercise science (eastern university and lincoln university), nursing (commonwealth university), elementary education (Delaware technical college), sports management (goldey beacom college), cyber security (cheyney university), animation arts/graphic design (Delaware county community college), health science (Delaware county community college), skilled trades (thaddeus stevens college), performing arts (lincoln university), marketing (widener university), electrical engineering (morgan state university), radiologic technology (johnson & wales college), health science (lincoln university), and culinary arts (walnut hill college).two students are pursuing apprenticeships in the trades (carpentry and electrical).for students in college, the foundation offers targeted mentoring support, tutoring assistance, and financial assistance.
