Education changes lives – so does your support

CDI Scholars go on to become medical professionals, researchers and scientists, journalists and social workers, lawyers, teachers, business owners, artists and engineers. They are infused in the community, and they make us better. Your belief in their ability and financial support of CDI enables Scholars to make their educational dreams come true. 

Your gift ensures each Scholar receives personalized mentoring and test preparation, support for their mental wellbeing, career guidance, and a supportive community of other first-generation-to-college students.

By supporting the whole Scholar, CDI has one of the highest graduation rates of any college access program in the country – and your generosity has a direct impact on our ability to provide the 1:1 Scholar support that makes that possible.
