What It Means To Be A Member School A Better Chance partners with over 200 college preparatory schools across the nation.
Our school partners must meet certain requirements for commitment to diversity, financial aid allocation, academic excellence and personal and social growth.
Becoming a Member School means your school is dedicated to educational access.
A school that joins A Better Chance’s network of Member Schools makes two commitments:
A commitment to ensuring A Better Chance families have access to transformational educational opportunities
A commitment to cultivating an independent school ecosystem that includes underserved populations.
