Students Rising Above (SRA) forever changed the trajectory of my life. I applied a lot of scholarships when I was in high school, but to say SRA is a scholarship would be an understatement.
SRA provides much more than a check to the college or university the first-gen student decides to go to; SRA equips students with the tools and resources first-gen students need, in order to succeed in college, post college, and overall life. More importantly, SRA serves as a sounding board when things get tough at home. While these students may be off at college, they still have to manage their home duties: parents' doctor appointments, feeding their siblings, contributing to rent, etc...it becomes overwhelming juggling home duties, school, and work but SRA helps make it easier for us through providing SUPPORT.
All of this is possible through donations! If you are interested in donating, please do! Quarter-end is a month and a half away for some companies - use it or lose it. Don't lose the money, consider donating to SRA.

Have you looked into getting binder donations from binder companies directly? I’ve been talking to a few and I know some of them regularly donate undergarments.
