About

Students Rising Above is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that empowers underrepresented students with drive and potential to achieve their life goals by connecting them to the tools, resources, and supportive community they need to excel and thrive on their college-to-career journey.

As SRA’s founding initiative, Rising Stars invests in first-generation college students from low-income communities who have demonstrated both a deep commitment to education and the strength of character to overcome tremendous odds during their youth.

By providing comprehensive guidance and support whenever and wherever it’s needed, SRA accomplishes its mission through a series of proven initiatives that have a direct and profound impact, affecting lives for generations.
