IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom0Over the past twelve months The College Initiative (TCI) has evolved from dream, to business plan, to actual program impacting the lives of so many of our students here in the Greater Delta region and beyond. We have been busy implementing critical infrastructure, adding programs, and developing new initiatives to help our students succeed in college. As part of this important growth, we have launched a website, hired a full time COO, partnered with ten school districts and twenty teachers. We are particularly thankful to all our donors without whom none of our work would have been possible. Additionally, we are exceptionally proud of our TCI scholar's success to date. And, we know that with these enhancements and the support of our donors, we'll be able to help even more students attain a college education, and thus improving their lives and the lives of their families and communities. The College Initiative is a 501(c)3 nonprofit providing college-capable, low-income students with the tools and mentorship they need to successfully apply to and succeed in college. The College Initiative forms partnerships with school districts, energetic teachers, and college student volunteers to ensure that every student aspiring to go to college will have the opportunity to do so. Services include: ACT/SAT test preparation; Financial aid consulting; Summer enrichment programs; College application assistance and Guidance through college. This year, our scholars were admitted to Notre Dame, American, University of Arkansas Fayetteville, Southern Methodist University, Ohio State, Arkansas State University, University of Central Arkansas, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Le Moyne-Owen College, Philander Smith College, U of Arkansas at Little Rock, and Delta State University. Our college matriculation rate was 95%, which is 48% higher than the national average of low-income students who go directly to college after high school. This year, our TCI scholars were offered $640,180 in scholarships money. Additionally, 100% of our scholars received at least $1,000 in scholarship money. Furthermore, 100% of TCI scholars had taken at least one ACT by June, and had an average of 21, 7 points higher than their peers who did not participate in our programs.
