Learn about our mission, our values, and the people dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders.
We Believe Potential Should Outweigh Background
What We Envision
We envision a future where every student, regardless of background, has access to the guidance, opportunities, and resources needed to succeed beyond high school and the ability to build a life defined by choice, not circumstance.
Who We Are
Scholar & A Dream is a New York City based nonprofit dedicated to empowering first generation and BIPOC students during the transition from high school to college and career. Through mentorship, real world exposure, and financial support, we help students navigate critical decisions with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Our Values
We believe access creates opportunity and mentorship drives transformation. We value consistency, accountability, and showing up for our students in real ways. We are committed to building confidence, expanding perspective, and helping students take ownership of their future.
