Opening Doors for Plainfield's Young Scholars

Donation protected
I'm raising $10,000 to give students from Plainfield, NJ—grades 5 through 12—an unparalleled opportunity: the chance to study, visit, and experience life at some of the world’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Oxford, Kean, Rutgers, NJIT, and more.

This transformative initiative builds on a proven track record. Every student who has attended a SOAL (Scholars on Academic Learning) trip through CAPS Central has been accepted into a prestigious university—including Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Howard, Brown, Villanova, Drexel, and Rutgers. These immersive experiences not only open doors—they ignite dreams, instill confidence, and equip our scholars to thrive in college and beyond.

Your contribution will help cover travel, lodging, meals, and program costs, ensuring every deserving scholar can participate—regardless of financial barriers. Together, we can fulfill our mission: that every scholar is prepared to excel in and graduate from a top university in the nation.

✨ Invest in their future today—because exposure changes expectations, and opportunity changes lives.

Thank you for believing in our scholars!
