Who We Are

A Better Chance's bold vision is a world where every young person—regardless of race, background, or circumstance—has access to transformative educational opportunities that supports them in reaching their full potential. Through a national network of more than 200 member schools, A Better Chance recruits, places, and supports high-achieving middle and high school students from underserved communities in some of the top-performing independent day, boarding, and public schools in the nation. Our Scholars are driven, curious, and inspired to lead.

The tremendous potential of these Scholars to impact our world, and the sheer scope of the number of lives they will touch, are what set A Better Chance apart. As we look ahead, our commitment remains unwavering: to expand opportunity and access for underserved students. Will you join us?
