Our mission is to remove barriers to education for students struggling to balance life\u2019s immediate needs, while also pursuing their goal of a degree \u2013 and a brighter future.\u00a0 The American dream, while alive and well for some, can be just as elusive for others. The road to higher education, whether vocational or college, can be a hard, up-hill climb, especially if you are economically disadvantaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I\u2019ve always had a dream of becoming a software engineer and using my skills to create affordable on-line education for people from all backgrounds. After moving to the U.S. from Ethiopia, I received a scholarship from Assistance League of Riverside to attend California State University, Fullerton. It hasn\u2019t been an easy road, but now I\u2019m well on my way to receiving my degree. Thank you!”<\/span><\/p>\n
