Students have been accepted into a four-year college.
We strive to equip high school students with the tools to gain acceptance to a four-year university and navigate the financial aid process. Through these efforts, we help our students develop as individuals. We introduce them to a world of opportunity outside their neighborhoods and comfort zones. Minds Matter works with motivated students because we believe that no student dedicated to earning a college education should be limited by socioeconomic status.
Who Are Our Students
73% of students admitted to Barron’s Most, Highly, or Very Competitive schools
The Average incoming GPA of Minds Matter students
89% of students identify as minorities
Each day, Minds Matter is inspired by the commitment and drive of the students we serve. Our students choose to spend 4-6 hours per week improving their academic abilities and preparing themselves for the future.
What People Are Saying
How We Do It
Mentoring
Our academic mentors work with their students through a three-year program from sophomore to senior year.
Volunteers
Many volunteers meet with students for 3 hours on a weekly basis. This year, volunteers will donate over 8,000 hours of their time to MMD.
Donations
Minds Matter would not be possible without our generous donators helping to continue our organization.
