The Glow Foundation provides financial education, mentoring, and scholarships to high potential, college-ready students from under-resourced communities.

Imagine being the first person in your family to be admitted to college. You have worked hard for four years and have finally achieved your goal of college admission. However, you then receive a $10,000 college tuition bill when your family barely makes $20,000 a year and you have never had more than $500 in your bank account. You ask your family and friends about financing college, but none of them attended college and can provide advice. In addition, you and your immediate family cannot apply for bank loans due to financial hardship. That $10,000 seems like an insurmountable goal, and attending college feels like an impossible dream. The Problem

The Glow Foundation was founded in 2006 to address the financial barriers that high potential, low income students face in attending and graduating from college. At Glow Foundation, we want to make that "impossible dream" of college a reality for our students. The Glow Foundation combines financial education, mentoring, and monetary grants to ensure that deserving students attend college.
