Onward We Learn Advisory
ONWARD WE LEARN ADVISORY:EACH YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION RECRUITS A NEW CLASS OF STUDENTS ACROSS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADES (6-8) AND PROVIDES THEM WITH ONGOING SERVICES THROUGH THEIR FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE. SERVICES INCLUDE COACHING AND MENTORING SERVICES, WHICH ARE DELIVERED BY 30 ADVISORS WHO OPERATE IN 40 MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS AND AT THE STATE'S THREE PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. WE ALSO PROVIDE 40 OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS TO STUDENTS THAT FOCUS ON ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, CAREER EDUCATION, AND POSTSECONDARY PREPARATION. ONWARD WE LEARN ADVISORS WORK CLOSELY WITH STUDENTS TO HELP IDENTIFY AND CONSIDER THE POSTSECONDARY PATHWAY THAT IS THE BEST FIT FOR THEM AND WORKS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER RESOURCES TO MAKE POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION AFFORDABLE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2023 – Sep 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.2MScholarship Program
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM:IN FY 2024, WE PROVIDED $816,139 FOR SCHOLARSHIPS TO 624 STUDENTS TO SUPPORT POSTSECONDARY SUCCESS. THESE RESOURCES WERE CRITICAL TO SUPPORTING COLLEGE PERSISTENCE AND COLLEGE COMPLETION EFFORTS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE SCHOLARSHIP RESOURCES, INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS STUDYING ONWARD WE LEARN DISCOVERED THAT STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM HAD A FIRST-YEAR RETENTION RATE IN COLLEGE OF 75.4 PERCENT, WHICH WAS 10.3 PERCENTAGE POINTS HIGHER THAN THE STUDY'S MATCHED COMPARISON GROUP.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2023 – Sep 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$816.1KOnward We Learn FAFSA Student Support
ONWARD WE LEARN FAFSA STUDENT SUPPORT: ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MILESTONES IN THE ONWARD WE LEARN PROGRAM IS A STUDENT'S SUBMISSION OF THE FAFSA FORM (FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID). FAFSA COMPLETION IS PREDOMINANTLY A 12TH GRADE ACTIVITY, BUT IT IS OFTEN DISCUSSED AND HIGHLIGHTED THROUGHOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE. IN FY 2024, ONWARD SUPPORTED THE COMPLETION OF MORE THAN 1,000 FAFSA FORMS. THIS INCLUDED AN 84% FAFSA COMPLETION RATE AMONG ONWARD STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM AS WELL AS PROVIDING FAFSA SUPPORT FOR OTHER STUDENTS ATTENDING SCHOOLS IN PROVIDENCE AND PAWTUCKET. ONWARD WE LEARN WAS A STATEWIDE LEADER IN FAFSA SUPPORT, WHICH WAS NEEDED DUE TO THE MANY DELAYS AND DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAFSA PROCESS DURING THIS YEAR.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2023 – Sep 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$404.1K
