Support a Woman With the Gift of Education
Organization Mission:
Our mission is to provide college tuition as well as one-on-one mentoring to adult Delaware women facing financial and personal challenges. These women, many of whom are single mothers and first in their family to attend college, desire to extricate themselves from these challenges to join the ranks of college graduates, thereby opening doors to new opportunities and setting a positive example for their family, neighborhood and wider community. With degree in hand, our graduates acquire upward economic mobility through higher-paying, more stable careers which are likely to withstand the turmoil of economic downturns such as we experienced during the pandemic. They have earned a "fresh start" in life through the power of education.
- Served nearly 300 scholars
- Provided One-on-one mentoring
- Managed program costs so that 90% of our expenditures go towards scholarships
- Achieved a 72% graduation rate and average 3.4 GPA for scholars
- Magnified our impact by being the example set for our scholars and their families.
Fresh Start’s success is dependent on community support. Entirely volunteer run, 90 cents of every dollar raised goes back into the scholarship program. With your help, we can provide more scholarships and opportunities to our present and future scholars.
