Project Title: Student Success Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Since 1986, Student Sponsor Partners (SSP) has been dedicated to its mission of breaking the cycle of poverty for New York City students from low-income backgrounds who struggle academically. These students typically come from families with an average annual per capita income of just $9,570. Upon entering the program, they exhibit middle to slightly below-average academic performance, with 97% belonging to minority communities, including Black\/African American (24%), Hispanic (59%), Two or More Races (13%), and Asian\/Pacific Islander (1%). Moreover, 80% come from single- or no-parent households, and 55% reside in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
Despite these challenges, SSP firmly believes in the potential for success and self-sufficiency among these students when provided with the right opportunities, access, and support. To this end, SSP offers distinctively comprehensive services, which include: 1.) Private School Admission and Financial Aid, 2.) Personalized Adult Mentoring, 3.) College and Career Success, and 4.) Guidance and Support Services. SSP seeks funding for our college and career program, which lays the foundation for our students’ post-high school achievements. Annually, SSP organizes over 20 college and career sessions in collaboration with corporate partners and colleges. These sessions included a range of activities like college and career panels, essay workshops, information sessions with college admissions officers, and financial advising and mental wellness programs.<\/p>\n
In the last school year, nearly 1,000 students benefited from high-quality education and support services, resulting in a 98% on-time graduation rate and nearly 80% immediate college enrollment among the Class of 2023. For those not immediately entering college, other paths to success include trade school, military careers, or college enrollment after a gap semester or year.
