For over a decade, HOPE Rising has been a guiding light for at-risk immigrant students, providing them with the support and resources needed to navigate the challenging journey toward higher education. 

HOPE Rising is more than just a program. It’s a lifeline for students striving to overcome barriers and achieve their educational dreams. Its primary focus is on guaranteeing on-time high school graduation and facilitating access to postsecondary education. HOPE Rising bridges the gap in guidance and resources for families unfamiliar with the U.S. education system.

Guidance that Transforms

HOPE Rising goes beyond traditional academic support by offering comprehensive guidance tailored to each student’s needs. From career exploration counseling to college application workshops and financial aid assistance, the program equips students with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of higher education successfully. 

As HOPE Rising celebrates its 15th year, its impact on students’ lives is truly remarkable. With 391 scholarships awarded and a total donation of over $600,000, the program has helped pave the way for countless individuals to pursue their educational aspirations and build a brighter future.

HOPE Rising program support, coupled with the Hope Scholarship, helps our young community members reach beyond the conditions of their current lives and create better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

To qualify for Hope Scholarships, students must meet specific eligibility criteria, including maintaining a minimum GPA, demonstrating financial need, and completing at least 40 hours of community service within the past year. Additionally, participants must fulfill various commitments, such as sending proof of class registration and attending monthly meetings. 

These requirements ensure that students are actively engaged in their education and community while receiving the support they need to succeed.
