About Minds Matter:

Minds Matter connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world. Every day we listen, learn, and grow with our students celebrating their voices and uniting behind their dreams. We believe a student’s zip code shouldn’t limit their opportunities for college or life. No matter where our students are from, they have strong visions for where they want to go. We work every day to deliver progressive and tailored programs that empower dreams, cultivate growth, and tackle challenges first generation/first in their family students face in their journey to college. Because college shouldn’t be a barrier - it should be a beginning.
