We provide academic support services to students in need, to bridge educational gaps

At Rising Scholars Foundation, we believe student success is not determined by circumstance—it’s shaped by access, support, and belief.
Every day, students face barriers that have nothing to do with their ability: poverty, language gaps, housing instability, immigration status, loss, and limited academic support. Yet time and again, we see what happens when those barriers are met with the right resources and a team that refuses to give up on them.
We have witnessed students:
These outcomes are not rare exceptions. They are the result of intentional support, high expectations, and consistent guidance.
That belief is the foundation of our work.
Rising Scholars Foundation exists to ensure that students from low-income, underrepresented, and at-risk backgrounds have access to the academic support they deserve. Through individualized tutoring, SAT/ACT preparation, and college readiness guidance, we help students see what is possible—and give them the tools to achieve it.
Education is more than grades and test scores. It is stability. It is opportunity. It is the power to change the trajectory of a family and, ultimately, a community.
As we raise scholarship funds for the 2025–2026 school year, every contribution directly supports one-on-one instruction, test preparation, and college access services for students who would otherwise go without.
When students are seen, supported, and empowered, they rise.
And when they rise, the impact lasts for generations.

At Rising Scholars Foundation Inc., our mission is to empower students of low socioeconomic status by providing comprehensive academic support services. We believe that every individual deserves equal access to quality education and the opportunity to thrive academically. Through our nonprofit organization, we strive to bridge the educational gap, and create a level playing field for students facing economic challenges.
By collaborating with schools, families, and communities, we aim to create a network of dedicated individuals who are invested in the success of our scholars. Through personalized mentoring, tutoring, and access to educational resources, we empower students to reach their full potential and become lifelong learners and leaders.
As an educational nonprofit, we are dedicated to continuous improvement, innovation, and research-based practices. We constantly strive to adapt and evolve our programs to meet the changing needs of our students and the ever-evolving educational landscape. By leveraging partnerships, technology, and community engagement, we aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of our scholars and the broader society.
At Rising Scholars Foundation Inc., we envision a future where socioeconomic status does not hinder a student's educational opportunities or limit their potential. Through our collective efforts, we aspire to break the cycle of inequality and create a brighter future for all. Together, we can empower and uplift rising scholars to become agents of change, unlocking a world of possibilities for generations to come.

At Rising Scholars Foundation, all of our programs are designed to help students develop the foundational understanding and skills needed to attain a college education. We offer a range of programs and resources tailored to address the unique needs of our students, providing them with the tools and support necessary to overcome obstacles and achieve academic excellence. From early literacy programs to high school test preparation and algebra readiness, our goal is to empower students to succeed academically and pave the way for their future higher education opportunities. Through personalized support and targeted interventions, we ensure that every student has the chance to reach their full potential.

While Rising Scholars Foundation Inc. is relatively new, having been founded in 2023, its commitment to providing academic support services and leveling the playing field for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has already begun to yield tangible results. We have hosted several workshops and classes at no cost to students, helping to empower them and build a stronger educational foundation. These initiatives are contributing to the long-term success and well-being of the individuals we serve and the communities they belong to. To continue offering these vital programs throughout Southwest Florida, we must secure funding to sustain and expand our efforts, ensuring that more students have access to the academic resources and support they need to succeed.
