Vision Statement
The vision of Educational Student Tours is to be the premiere Black College Tour program in the nation.
Mission Statement
The mission of Educational Student Tours, Inc. is to create the opportunity for foster and low-income tour participants to attend four-year Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in order to transform their lives.
Goal
The goal of our program is to decrease the achievement gap between participants of low socio-economic backgrounds and their more privileged peers.
Did you know that...
- For every 100 African-American students in kindergarten today, only 13 will graduate from a four-year college.
- Of all the foster youth who attempt college, 97% will fail without a support system in place.
- Foster youth - those who have spent at least one year as a ward of the court after age 13 - are among America’s most disadvantaged in terms of opportunities for higher education.
How You Can Help
Your donation is welcome! We appreciate you donating your time or helping to underwrite the cost of a foster and/or low-income youth’s college tour ($1500). Your donation can also help with college application costs and other on-going student support services.
