College Possible Texas

A huge thank-you to the AmeriCorps coaches who completed their service with College Possible Texas this year! 🎉
These coaches spent the year working directly with students in Austin, providing consistent, near-peer guidance through college applications, financial aid, and enrollment decisions. A service year is a serious commitment, and the impact these coaches made on students is real and lasting. Thank you for everything you brought to this work. 💙

College Possible Texas is grateful to receive grant support from Oracle to help more first-generation college students in Texas earn a degree. Thank you, Oracle! 🎓

College Possible Texas is proud to celebrate our newest Adam Scripps Foundation scholars. This year's cohort includes students from Austin, Fredericksburg, and Houston, each receiving a four-year scholarship paired with near-peer coaching to keep them supported from enrollment through graduation. With 16 new awardees, our scholar community has now grown to 40. Scholars are heading to schools including the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Southern California, and Texas A&M. We are so grateful to the Adam R. Scripps Foundation, now in its third year of partnership with College Possible Texas. New year, new scholars, endless possibilities.
