Strive for College is a new approach to correcting the inequalities of college access. Strive recruits undergraduate student mentors from local universities to guide low-income high school students through the process of applying to, enrolling in and paying for four-year colleges and universities. We are a national organization with chapters across the country.

Introduction: Strive@CMU
The Carnegie Mellon University chapter of Strive for College began in Fall 2009. Since then, we have been regularly mentoring at Westinghouse Highschool, Pittsburgh. With each semester, Strive has gained more mentors and mentees; this semester we have a total of 15 mentors, representing the freshman through senior class at CMU.We will be posting about our mentoring sessions, efforts to fundraise and more! [the picture in this post is from Spring'09, you can see the mentors and mentees wearing Westinghouse t-shirts!]
