A non-profit organization in Broward County, Florida, has been awarded $1.1 million to support its initiative, “Postsecondary Success for All,” aimed at preparing high school graduates for their careers. This funding will benefit over 9,000 high school and 14,000 middle school students from underserved communities. The program, part of Bridge2Life under the Broward Education Foundation, seeks to increase the percentage of working-age adults in the area with a post-secondary degree or high-quality certificate to 65% by 2030. The grant will enhance access to advanced classes and provide college and career advising, as well as test preparation workshops across 80 schools. Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Howard Hepburn emphasized the transformative impact of this investment for students facing barriers to higher education. The funding is provided by the Helios Education Foundation, which focuses on supporting low-income and historically underrepresented communities in Arizona and Florida. The initiative also aims to establish partnerships with local colleges to boost enrollment in Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and dual-enrollment classes, while offering tutoring for critical college admissions tests like the ACT and SAT. Additionally, families of juniors and seniors will receive personalized advising on college expenses and financial aid applications, with the goal of building mentorships to ease the transition from high school to further education.
