uAspire

uAspire is a nonprofit organisation founded in 1985 that provides financial knowledge, resources, and personalised support to underrepresented students to help them access and complete higher education. Based in Boston, the organisation operates nationwide. Its work is structured around four core solutions: Advising, Training, Policy, and Consulting.

The organisation's reach is substantial. In the past year, uAspire advised over 10,000 students and distributed more than $400,000 in scholarships. Students who receive its support are 1.9 times more likely to graduate from college.

uAspire takes a data-driven approach to its mission of expanding equity and access in higher education. The organisation works across the higher education and education sectors, combining direct student advising with broader policy and training efforts to address systemic barriers to college completion.
