One Jump

One Jump is extremely proud to support our Collins Scholars pictured here who are attending University of Texas, Texas A&M, University of Houston, Colby College, Pomona College, and Wellesley College this fall!

This year One Jump gave over $40,000 in scholarships to deserving students from underserved backgrounds through a variety of scholarships. We could not be more excited to further our mission of helping to close the opportunity gap!

This is why we fight.

“High-scoring black kids and Hispanic kids go into innovation at incredibly low rates,” says Raj Chetty, a Stanford economist who led the research team. “There must be many ‘lost Einsteins’ in those groups” — children who appear to have been similarly able at a young age to their white and Asian peers but who never got a chance to deploy their skills.

What the researchers found is fascinating. They discovered that both an actual ability to invent things and early life exposure to a culture of innovation and opportunity are crucial to driving inventions. Ability itself is, of course, unevenly distributed. But in the United States, so is opportunity — with huge numbers of highly skilled children from unfavorable backgrounds seemingly locked out of pathways to careers as inventors."

Groundbreaking empirical research shows where innovation really comes from Breaking down barriers for underrepresented kids could quadruple America’s pool of inventors
