College Track

<div><p><b>Director of Foundation Relations</b></p>

<p>
College Track is a comprehensive college completion program. Our students benefit from a 10‑year integrated program that helps them overcome obstacles on the path to a bachelor's degree and a meaningful career. We offer academic, financial, and personalized support over 10 years to help students persist through college and graduate.</p>
<p>
What began in 1997 with 25 students in East Palo Alto has grown into a national movement of more than 5,400 scholars and alumni who are driving change in their families, campuses, workplaces, and communities. Today, we operate 13 centers rooted in communities across California, Colorado, Louisiana, and the D.C. Metro Area, with our newest site opening in Baltimore, thanks to a bold partnership with the Baltimore Ravens, M&amp;T Bank, and Baltimore City Public Schools. To learn more, please visit www.collegetrack.org.</p>
<p>
Our Impact - Our scholars are leaders on more than 300 college campuses nationwide, including at partner institutions like Middlebury College, Tulane University, Bowie State University, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. They graduate at rates that are three times the national average for first-generation students, proving what's possible when talent meets opportunity. One year after college, 80 percent of our alumni are employed, and by age 30, they earn an average of $89,823&mdash;outpacing the national median and demonstrating the long-term economic mobility a bachelor's degree unlocks.</p>
<p>
These outcomes are the result of a deliberate approach that supports scholars to minimize student debt, secure paid internships, and reduce the need to work excessive hours while in school&mdash;ensuring they can focus on learning, leadership, and personal growth. By preparing our scholars to capture the full value of their degree, we position them to thrive in the 21st-century economy and lead lives of opportunity, choice, purpose, and power.</p>
