Project Title: Class of 2022 College Mentor Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
BRYC humbly and gratefully requests $10,000 to support its Class of 2022 College Mentor Program. BRYC seeks funding to recruit, train, and continually support its College Mentors, the volunteers who serve as personal guides to our Senior Fellows throughout the college application and financial aid processes. The Hermanowski Family Foundation\u2019s support for the 2021-2022 school year would enable BRYC to provide 75 Senior Fellows with the tools and guidance they need to gain admission to the four-year colleges of their choice with less than $5,500 per year in student loan debt.<\/p>\n
There are many high-achieving, low-income students in our region\u2019s public high schools who have the ability to get into and graduate from college, strengthening our community both economically and civically. But they don\u2019t. Most of our Fellows are East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS) students and identify as Black and economically disadvantaged. EBRPSS is a perennially struggling school system in which 84 percent of 42,000 students are Black and live in poverty, and 73 percent of low-income Black high schoolers earn diplomas. Far fewer attend college. Even fewer graduate: 19 percent of Black adults aged 25+ in East Baton Rouge Parish hold bachelor\u2019s degrees.<\/p>\n
Baton Rouge\u2019s educational need is unconscionable. BRYC doesn\u2019t intend to be all things to all students; we exhaustively serve rising\/current high schoolers who: 1) have 3.0+ GPAs and 2) are Pell Grant-eligible.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $142,000<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): The project for which we seek support from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will take place during Fiscal Year 2022 (2021-2022 school year). As such most of the funding listed below is technically pending. However, given BRYC\u2019s high donor retention rate, we are confident that most, if not all, of these funders will renew their financial support. Finally, please note that this is not a comprehensive projection of BRYC\u2019s Fiscal Year 2022 income sources, but rather a projection of just the funders who we expect to support the College Mentor Program specifically. Foundation Support William Edwin Montan Charitable Trust $12,500 Tauber Foundation $10,000 Gorter Family Foundation $5,000 Individual Support Annette Barton $25,000 Ava & Cordell Haymon $25,000 Linda & Bob Bowsher $10,000 Carolyn & Ervie Ellender $10,000 Teri & Gordon LeBlanc $10,000 Polly & Conville Lemoine $5,000 Linda & Mark Posner $5,000 Pam Richards & Pat Caballero $5,000 Corporate Support Capital One $5,000<\/p>\n
