With your gift, together we can help Collegiate graduates face the challenges of adjusting to college life and reach their goals.
Our vision is for every Collegiate scholar to be prepared for college. Because many of our scholars are the first members of their families to have this opportunity, academic preparation must be paired with partnership in the college application process.
Your support will help guide our scholars on their journey to college success.
High school graduates across the country leave home excited to tackle college life, but, statistically speaking, only about 20% of “first-generation” college students will graduate after six years, compared to 49% of “continuing generation” students. This year, 90% of Collegiate graduates in the class of 2025 will be first-generation college students and they are just a few short months away from navigating the unfamiliar terrain of higher education.
At The Collegiate School of Memphis, we believe that success in college is determined by intentional planning and preparation that begins long before a student sets foot on a college campus. This is why Collegiate is committed to preparing scholars for every step of their academic journey from 6th grade to college graduation. With your donation to our Alumni Support program, we can continue providing our scholars and alumni with targeted support and ensure that Collegiate graduates are prepared to thrive once they get to college.
A gift to Collegiate’s Launch a Leader initiative helps:
Provide tailored college admission, college scholarship, and career guidance.
Maintain strong relationships with alumni to stay informed about their needs and connect them with valuable resources.
Cover unexpected emergency financial hurdles to help alumni remain on their path to success.
Our methods are effective. Each year, students enroll at schools such as Rhodes College, Vanderbilt University, Washington University, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and the University of Memphis.
In the blink of an eye, these scholars will join—and lead—the businesses, schools, and civic organizations that make Memphis strong.
Your gift to The Collegiate School of Memphis Alumni Support Program helps to provide all of this assistance and more, and may just help pave the way for your next brilliant young co-worker or employee.
Please join us in supporting these talented young Memphians!
