Carver Selected as Inaugural Partner for the Rising S.T.A.R. College Success Program

Carver is proud to announce that we have been chosen as an inaugural partner in the Rising S.T.A.R. College Success Program—an extraordinary initiative designed to open doors and expand horizons for underrepresented students pursuing higher education.

The Rising S.T.A.R. College Success Program is a non-tuition-based needs program, fully funded and established by Stand Together Against Racism (S.T.A.R.).

This groundbreaking program addresses disparities in college access and success by combining non-tuition-based financial assistance and partnerships with organizations like Carver to provide students with the tools, mentorship, and resources they need not only to enter college but also to thrive throughout their academic journeys.

Carver’s Role as Inaugural Partner

As the program’s charity partner, Carver will:

  • Identify and Nominate Students who would most benefit from this life-changing opportunity.

  • Integrate S.T.A.R. Resources with Carver’s own Future Readiness and college support services.

  • Build Community by fostering peer networks and encouraging student participation in workshops and mentoring activities.

  • Collaborate with S.T.A.R. to monitor outcomes, share updates, and adapt support structures to meet evolving student needs.

Why This Matters

Carver has a long track record of helping students overcome barriers to higher education, with 100% of Carver seniors graduating on time since 2005 and 88% of our scholarship recipients completing college within six years. By partnering with Stand Together Against Racism, we’re taking this commitment to the next level—joining forces with a program that provides holistic, continuous support throughout the college years.

This partnership amplifies Carver’s mission to ensure every student is prepared not just to enter college but to succeed and graduate ready for the future.

We are deeply honored to be an inaugural partner of the Rising S.T.A.R. College Success Program and excited to see the transformational impact this program will have on Carver students and families in the years ahead.
