Give a Student a Life-Changing Summer

Every summer, Minds Matter places students in competitive academic programs at college campuses across the country and even the world.  Students are challenged with college-level coursework while experiencing life away from home—often for the first time. Beyond strengthening academic skills, summer programs help students imagine themselves on campus, learning and thriving.  

For Minds Matter Colorado student Noah, his summer program experience not only expanded his horizons, but ignited his passion for aeronautics.  Noah was one of only 22 students selected for a special, four-week program focused on science, engineering, and technology.  During the program, Noah learned about the field of aeronautics through field trips, learning from working professionals, and grappling with engineering challenges. His experience made him realize that aeronautics was his future.  Working with his mentors, Noah dedicated his time to making that future a reality.  Today, as a senior, Noah has already been accepted at two different aeronautics college programs and is excited to embark on his new path!

Noah’s story is true for every student in our program. Please consider a donation of $100, $500, or $1,000 today and support Summer Programs.

This giving season, invest in growth, invest in ambition, invest in Minds Matter.
