BRIGHTER HORIZON

The Brighter Horizon Foundation’s mission is to support first generation students in pursuit of a four-year college degree, or students earning an associate degree and a career in the trades. Our organization fulfills this mission through a complete wrap-around approach to college preparation, entrance testing, application processes, financial aid application assistance, and mentoring; in addition, to paid internships and full-time, living wage employment assistance for first-generation students throughout their education opening opportunities for underserved youth in Philadelphia to earn a four-year or associate degree which would otherwise be inaccessible to them. Brighter Horizon focuses on breaking the cycle of generational poverty through higher education. When our Scholars have access to upward mobility, so do their families and their communities.
