Did you know that even small unexpected bills can cause low-income, first-generation college students to drop out? Brooke is launching a new Alumni Fund to support our alumni to persist to college graduation. Your investment can help ensure small financial needs don’t stand in the way of our students’ dreams.
Brooke High graduates enter college with strong foundations, having benefited from our schools' academic rigor and great teachers. Our college counseling team also supports students to select colleges with strong financial aid packages and records of success graduating first-generation students of color.
For over a decade, our Alumni Support office has worked with Brooke alumni, providing individualized advising, supporting them to complete financial aid processes, and tracking progress toward graduation within six years. We know from our advising that persistence isn’t only impeded by academic or social stressors, but financial strain as well.
Fifty percent of Brooke High School graduates who are currently enrolled in college attend one of the four UMASS campuses. Other schools our graduates are currently attending include Amherst College, Boston University, Howard University, MIT, Northeastern University, Simmons College, Wheaton College, Williams College, and Yale University. Even as they are thriving in college, our alumni often face financial challenges.
Brooke prepared me professionally because I know how to ask for help, reach out to others, and make great and respectful relationships... My main goal is to have my co-op from Northeastern lead into my full time role after college. I hope to work at a company such as Microsoft that focuses on technology.
