Our Approach

Empowering students with comprehensive mentorship and financial assistance to overcome obstacles and thrive in college and beyond.

Simple. Easy.

While many individuals dream of obtaining higher education, life can sometimes get in the way. At Advance Forward Foundation, we offer more than just financial assistance. We provide a comprehensive, individualized mentorship program to help students navigate academic challenges, increase financial literacy, and guide them through life's big decisions.

College can be a beautiful experience that lays the foundation for a great future, but without guidance, students can find themselves stuck and unsure of how to get back on track. Our primary goal is to equip our students to take advantage of the opportunities college has to offer and become successful in their post-college years.

Scholarship

Deciding to pursue higher education or build your own start-up can be daunting, especially when it comes to figuring out how to pay for the first year. At Advance Forward Foundation, we understand this challenge and offer a scholarship program that empowers students by providing up to $2,000 in financial support to help reduce the financial barrier and develop a financial plan to power through the next years.

Financial Literacy

Why is financial literacy important for college students? Because for many, college is the first time they experience financial independence. They may need to budget for essentials such as food, housing, and academic expenses, as well as discretionary spending for entertainment and social activities. Without proper financial education, making the wrong financial decisions can delay achieving important life goals, such as purchasing a home or starting a family.

Coaching

Times of transition, such as the shift from high school to college or from college to your first career, can be overwhelming. Having sufficient support during these transitions can enhance your experience and increase your chances of success. Support can come from various sources, including mentors who can provide guidance based on their own experiences navigating similar transitions.
