“Keys to success: the purpose of keys to success is to motivate students to unlock their future by connecting them to scholarships, internships, and careers. In the fall of 2018, the keys to success app was launched to provide students with scholarships, internships, and other career opportunities personalized to their chosen career interests. Students can track their progress, receive push notifications about new opportunities, and use additional tools like act prep and fasfa help to help them unlock their future. The more students interact with the app, the more points students earn that can be redeemed for awesome prizes like gift cards to restaurants and vouchers for activities. The app makes it easy for parents to engage with their students' future, goals, and career interests. The 2023-2024 school year ended with 158,895 student app downloads and over 100 million in scholarships/tuition waivers available in the app. During the school year, keys to success sponsored academic scholarships were awarded to 178 students. The program provided 17,088 prizes and incentives for students, with one grand prize of a car giveaway.”
