Mission and Beliefs
“Attending college will open new doors for me to achieve my goals. I want to be a successful and educated Latina woman who one day returns to her community to help them move forward.”
Our MISSION is to provide financial education, mentoring, and scholarships to high potential, college-ready students from under-resourced communities. By using college financing, the first major financial event for most students, as a platform for financial education, Glow not only helps low income students get access to college education, but also provides students with the critical financial literacy and planning skills that will help them succeed beyond their schools years.
Our VISION is that all qualified, highly motivated students, regardless of their income level, should be able to afford and graduate from college and reach their greatest potential.
We believe that:
- All highly motivated and deserving students from under-resourced communities, not just the top students who are often heavily recruited, should have a chance at attending and graduating from college.
- Students who are equipped with financial literacy skills early in their life are better prepared to plan for college realistically, lead a financially responsible life, proactively seek resources they need, and invest in their future to succeed in life through and beyond college.
