The Annual Budget for the Foundation for Education of Young Women's state-wide College Readiness Program initiative is $925,000. This budget serves over 1,200 young women across four all-girls schools in Texas and includes salaries and benefits for counselors, college counseling software, ACT/SAT prep classes, campus tours, college readiness retreats, college-visit travel scholarships, parent/student college readiness seminars and more. These resources and activities are not funded by the public school system and are vital components to ensuring 6th-12th grade students and their parents are adequately prepared to succeed in college. We rely on the generous private donations such as yours to support these proven programs.

For the 2010 - 2011 school year, each College Readiness Advisor will serve between 275 - 520 students, depending on school campus and enrollment. During their junior and senior years, students work one-on-one with the College Readiness Advisor for intense preparation for graduation and college.
