2013.2014 Report to the Community Our challenge 32x 1/2 Low-income students are 32 times less likely to graduate from college as high-income students. Half of the jobs in Washington, D.C., were held by employees with at least a bachelor’s degree in 2000—nearly twice the national average. 2/3 By 2018, two-thirds of jobs in Washington state are projected to require a postsecondary education.

Welcome Access to education is a fundamental civil rights issue. As the U.S. economy demands more and more of its workforce, it is incumbent upon us to increase the number of young people getting postsecondary degrees and certificates. And to do this equitably, we must support underserved students in poverty. It is an undisputed fact that student poverty adversely affects student achievement. And generational poverty exacerbates the issue. People in poverty tend to stay poor and have low levels of formal education generation after generation. Our children’s future should not depend on the income bracket into which they are born. At the College Success Foundation (CSF), we have a deep passion for broadening college access for underserved youth, supporting them with the necessary tools and skills to complete high school and college and giving them the same chance to fulfill their potential as children from higher income brackets. As you will see throughout our report, CSF relies heavily on the philanthropy of individuals and on partners in the business, education, government and nonprofit communities to fuel our work. I am proud to be part of an organization that has been a leader over the past 14 years in improving college access for thousands of underrepresented students on both the east and west coasts. On behalf of our scholars and staff, I extend our heartfelt thanks for your commitment and support in the past, as well as your continued help in the future. Please join us in empowering underserved youth with the gift of education and opportunity so that all young people, regardless of the circumstances into which they were born, have the same chance to succeed and experience the American dream. Warmest regards, Yolanda Watson Spiva, Ph.D. President & CEO All data based on yearend 2013 unless otherwise noted, per official CSF census data.

Our priorities > > > Support underserved, low-income and firstgeneration students to high school completion. Share expertise and collaborate with partners to close the opportunity gap in education. Improve educational outcomes for underserved, low-income and first-generation college students. College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community 3 Our students > 80 percent are first-generation college-goers—the first in their family to pursue higher education. The College Success Foundation, at its core, serves a very vulnerable population. We serve the underserved—those who might not otherwise get to college without our help. > 70 percent are students of color We serve students with low-to-moderate academic performance, as opposed to high-performing students. Our core student generally performs below the top quartile but shows great potential to complete high school, graduate from college and succeed in life, given the proper supports. > All CSF programs and most We work in some of the poorest wards in Washington, D.C. In Washington state we work in school districts with a high percentage of students living at or below the poverty line. Within these regions, we look for students who show grit, have an academic mindset, demonstrate perseverance—all non-cognitive factors that translate to college success. 4 (65% in WA, 99% in DC). scholarships serve students from low-income families. > CSF serves foster youth— young people who struggle with family instability, as well as educational and societal barriers that are difficult to overcome without a strong support system. College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community Our strategy The College Success Foundation is distinctive because it offers direct services in addition to scholarships to students. Comprehensive supports make a big difference to student success. Our supports are “deep-dive” in specific districts, providing broad services for high schools and their feeder middle schools to help ensure that our students graduate from high school prepared to apply for and succeed in college. Our advisors work in the school as advocates for our students. CSF is in schools or school districts that typically fit a common profile. Our integrated system of supports addresses the critical transition points from middle to high school, ninth to tenth grade, high school to college and college to career, where students typically encounter difficulties and often stop out or drop out. We support our scholars in the areas where it will have the most impact— • academically •socially •financially •emotionally > District profile: • Densely populated. • High proportion of students of color. • Higher levels of families living in poverty. • High school graduation rates in need of improvement. • Lower percentage of graduates going directly into college. College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community 5 Our supports GET READY middle school Early Awareness and Engagement In today’s world, students need to stay ahead of the curve. They need to keep their options open and keep doors from closing before it is too late to walk through them. CSF provides support as early as seventh grade so we are able to build awareness of college and career choices. Advisors and coaches work directly in the schools to create a college-going mindset. With a personal advocate in the school building, students have a resource near them to help follow through with needed action. Students attend learning institutes and career academies and visit college campuses. Our middle school programs include the Higher Education Readiness Opportunity, more commonly known as HERO, and AmeriCorps College and Career Coaches for seventh and eighth grade students. 6 95% participants > Partners •AMERICORPS • BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION • DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (DC) PARTNERS • SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS • STATE OF WASHINGTON College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community 95 percent of participants receiving college and career awareness said their college and career coach increased their belief that college is possible.

Change creates challenges, and we are there to support and mentor our scholars. bachelor’s degrees 3,818 CSF Scholars have earned bachelor’s degrees, with over 5,000 Peer “navigators” help first-generation students through their first year so they better understand the rigors of college and the supports available. Our “navigators” are first-generation collegegoers themselves, many of whom are CSF Scholars in their junior or senior years of college, who are uniquely positioned to offer guidance as they know firsthand what their younger peers are experiencing. Whether our scholarship recipients received CSF services in middle and high schools or connect to us for the first time in college, once they are part of the CSF circle, we know they can all benefit from mentoring and career guidance during their college years. 8 more still attending college. 2x twice the odds CSF Scholars have over > Partners • COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES NATIONWIDE • WASHINGTON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COUNCIL College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community TWICE THE ODDS of graduating from college within six years compared to low-income graduates.

CSF provides our scholars opportunities to network and make connections with business professionals to ease the transition. CSF has an active alumni program, offering postgraduation support in the areas of leadership development, graduate/continuing education, civic and community engagement and career development. CSF supports its college students by providing lectures, workshops, panels, professional networking opportunities and leadership roles and activities. Alumni learn how to prepare for graduate and continuing education. They give back to their hometowns and current communities, particularly through school or campus-based volunteering. CSF Alumni Relations offers opportunities to share stories and advocate for education at events. CSF also promotes job and internship opportunities to help alumni prepare for and succeed in the workplace. College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community 9 Our scholarships The cost of college continues to increase. Dollars matter. Scholarships create hope for low-income, first-generation students by removing financial barriers. The fewer barriers to success students have, the more likely they are to complete college and graduate. CSF scholarships are coupled with our wraparound supports, such as mentoring and advising, to keep CSF Scholars well-supported academically, socially, emotionally and financially. This unique CSF combination is the cornerstone of the CSF model for success. Scholarships administered by CSF span the spectrum from private philanthropy to corporate philanthropy to public-private partnerships. CSF scholarship administration services are “bestin-class” and include application design and development, scholar selection and awarding, disbursement of funds, fundraising and direct student support services. 10 College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community 12,427 scholarships CSF awarded 12,427 scholarships between 2000 and 2013. 30% tuition increase Tuition and fees at public institutions have risen nearly 30 percent nationwide over the past five years. Students who have experienced foster care are arguably the most vulnerable and underrepresented population that the College Success Foundation serves. Eighty-four percent of foster youth indicate that they want to go to college, but only 48 percent end up graduating from high school on time and only 20 percent enroll in college. “ I was welcomed not into a program, but into a village of supporters. I cannot stress enough the importance of a supportive network in everyone’s lives, but especially that of foster youth and alumni, who have lives sometimes so fractured that the village might be all we have. — David Inglish “ > Washington State Governors’ Scholarship for Foster Youth CSF is passionate about improving educational attainment for Washington state foster youth by partnering with state and community organizations to provide college awareness, readiness and mentoring. The Washington State Governors’ Scholarship for Foster Youth, coupled with CSF supports, offers vital services available to young people aging out of foster care with few, if any, resources. Among our direct supports, CSF offers Make it Happen!, a summer on-campus college experience and Passport Navigators, on-campus peer mentors to guide students during the first year. CSF also builds capacity for practitioners working with foster youth through the Washington Passport Network to provide needed resources to alumni of care attending college.
