Black, Native American and Latino students need help.
Black Youth need support.
Financial pressures of college keeps black youth graduation rate at 50% of their white counterparts.
Native American Youth need support.
One in four Indian families lives with food insecurity. How can you get to college when you struggle to eat?

CourseBreaks makes textbooks free for college students.
By taking the cost of textbooks off students’ shoulders, we free up $1240 or more in a student’s annual budget.
Jeremy's story
This happens every single day:
“I originally took out $21,900 in federal student loans to attend Delta State University in Mississippi. Seven years later my total balance has grown to $30,443.93. I did not complete my undergraduate program. A lot of times I had to choose between rent and food or books and class.”
-Jeremy Porter, former student. From CBS’ "The Student Debt Dilemma"
College should build students, not break them.
Let's keep the dream alive.
Who will win future Nobel Prizes for peace, science and literature?
Who will become the next innovators?
Who will lead in green energy?
Brilliance walks among us.
But we need your help to unleash it.
Deferring costs is the norm...
Tuition is painful, but is dealt with down the road.
...but immediate costs are a greater threat.
Textbooks and fees are immediate pain and is suffered daily. When asked what causes students to leave college prior to graduation the cost of books, rent and food top the list.
