At Rise Up Academics, our mission is to empower students to rise beyond limitations through access to education, leadership development, and meaningful mentorship. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are committed to helping students—particularly high schoolers—build strong academic and professional profiles that open doors to higher education and future success.

 

We believe that real-world experience is just as important as classroom learning. That’s why we provide internship opportunities that allow students to grow their leadership skills, collaborate with peers, and take ownership of real projects that make a difference in their communities. Our programs are designed to nurture confidence, critical thinking, and a sense of purpose.

 

Through our mentorship initiatives, we connect students with caring, experienced guides who provide encouragement, accountability, and support throughout their educational journey. These mentoring relationships help students build resilience, set goals, and navigate challenges both in and out of school.

 

In addition, our annual Technology Scholarship gives a deserving incoming sophomore the tools they need to thrive in a digital learning environment. We believe that every student should have access to the technology required to succeed—and our scholarship makes that possible.

 

We also host educational seminars and events, including our signature Women in STEAM Conference, which inspires and equips young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

 

At Rise Up Academics, we’re not just preparing students for college—we’re preparing them for life. Everything we do is guided by our belief in equity, opportunity, and the power of education to change lives.
