Our mission is to transform the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success.

Minds Matter is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to helping motivated students from low-income families achieve academic success. Each student is matched to a pair of young professional mentors who provide individualized support and guidance to help the student navigate the complex college preparation and admissions process, including College Summer Programs. Minds Matter also aids students financially by providing test prep and tutoring services free of charge by local specialized partners, covering all expenses of Summer Programs admitted and attended by students, and assisting students in finding ways to waive college application fees or paying for the college application fees.
