Edstension

low-income, underserved students in america have only a 9 percent chance of graduating from college by the age of 25. studies show that summer college programs are transformative in motivating these students to graduate from college. edstension will bridge this information gap by inspiring underserved students to pursue collegiate education through videos that feature individuals who were the first in their communities to make the leap to college and beyond. at the same time, we will offer a mobile-compatible website that will connect students to transformative extracurriculars that can propel them on the path to college through college visits and internships. edstension will disseminate and market its platform through existing relationships with organizations such as teach for america and charter providers that work in the over 20 title i high schools around houston.
