With our donors’ generous support, we can give more students scholarships and ease their financial worries about college. Donations also prepare students for college and the world beyond high school, with counseling and mentoring from their first day at EPAA until the day they graduate.
Donors help us level the playing field for underserved students – bringing them resources like our new Dream Lab maker space, where their creativity thrives and they learn critical skills for success after high school.
