Last year, we helped 100 students save $31K in grad school app fees, giving students from underserved communities the freedom to apply widely.

This year we lost 16 partners = $8.2K setback = 110 fewer dreams.

🎓 You can change that.
💸 Donate to open 110 new doors.

One of the unexpected changes I'm seeing in higher education is some universities are no longer providing graduate school application fee waivers to programs that serve underserved communities.
