INDIVIDUALS: WHY WE GIVE

“With all the inequity in our society, organizations like College Visions help level the playing field for so many talented students who deserve to attend college just like their affluent peers.”

Chris Soto, Founding Director of Higher Edge, CV Donor

 

“Over my three years as a resident of Rhode Island I’m still shocked at how I can see someone in Providence and then see the same person at the beach in Newport or in Block Island within the same day! I think these common occurrences create a closeness that is special to RI and subsequently creates a community. I also see how there is a strong need for resources both educational and extracurricular within this state. I truly believe College Visions understands that and has found many ways to fill that need within the community by using the strong bonds that are unique to the state of RI.”

Joshua Wynn, Sr. Application Analyst, CV Board Member

 

“Many public schools don’t have the resources to provide the sort of college counseling that private schools do, and it puts public school students—particularly those whose parents did not attend college—at a distinct disadvantage in the college application process. They whole application process is much more competitive and confusing than it used to be, which makes CV’s work all the more valuable to the community. CV is equally, if not more, valuable in the support it provides students after they matriculate.”

Lauren Zurier, Esq., CV donors

 

“I give back to CV because they have made a huge impact in my life. CV helped me achieve my goal of going to college and graduating in four years. They introduced me to the College of the Holy Cross and that is where I received my degree! I was a bit apprehensive, but my advisor assured me that I had nothing to lose if I applied. Thankfully, I took their advice because I was able to graduate from Holy Cross debt free! CV is so important to me because they gave me a chance. They educated me on all the resources I had to help me succeed.”

Dorothy Hiralien, College of the Holy Cross ’15 & CV Alum


Matthew Perea

"College Visions is an amazing opportunity and really helps a lot of first-generation students like me think and learn about college. With CV, I was able to apply to schools that I had never thought about and I was able to complete everything on time or earlier thanks to my advisor. Your gifts and continued support helps this amazing organization to keep running. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Return on Investment

College Visions' strong emphasis on financial aid and affordability pays dividends for our students and generates an exceptional return on investment. The total cost for a student to participate in our program from 12th grade through college graduation is $10,000 (CAP + CSP). During that timespan, each College Visions student secures an average of $90,000 in grants and scholarships.
