Thriving in Cleveland

Opportunity Rises on the Shores of Lake Erie

As part of our strategic national expansion to serve as many students of color as possible, Thrive Scholars is thrilled to count Cleveland among the cities where we work.

Our program prepares and supports high-achieving underrepresented students in Cleveland to get into the nation’s Top 100 colleges – and graduate with the career skills and experience they need to thrive at the most innovative companies.

Meeting the need in Cleveland

There are 50,000 low-income students of color in America with the academic qualifications to get into top colleges – many from Cleveland. To succeed at top colleges, these talented students need our full support, just like that of their more privileged peers. Current programs aren’t enough, but Thrive Scholars has a solution. Refined over 20 years, our program works. And now, it’s working for Cleveland.

Thanks to our Supporters in Cleveland

Our expansion to Cleveland would not be possible without the generous seed funding from key corporations and foundations. By supporting Cleveland’s most talented and ambitious students of color today, they’re helping them to become the professional, business, and civic leaders of tomorrow.

*These companies also participate in our Corporate Sponsorship Program.
