Tutoring Scholarships

Help create bright futures for Denver area students!

Who are we?
We are Student Society, a team of highly motivated tutors who cover middle and high school subjects and are available to help students at our study lounge or in your home. We specialize in standardized test prep with well developed curriculums to help with test taking skills and test anxiety. 

Our South Broadway location was just opened in September and is COMPLETELY FREE to all students. Think of this space as a Starbucks-library-tutoring center hybrid. It has everything a student could need to get work done after school and more. Check our more information about it on our study lounge page here

Why are we raising money?
Long story short, we are raising money for tutoring scholarships so that we can help motivated students who are struggling in school. 

Our study lounge is free to all students but tutoring and academic coaching isn't. Tutoring is a luxury that most low-income families can't afford. Only about a quarter of high school students from families with a yearly income under $25,000 end up prepared for college.  The Center on Education and the Workforce predicts that by 2020, at least 65% of jobs will require a bachelor's degree or higher. If the children of the poorest families are unprepared for college, then they'll never break the cycle. We believe in giving students the chance of upward mobilility, and we need your help. 

How will the money be used?
The money will simply be used to pay tutors for their time. Students will apply for the scholarship program and hours will be given to students for free or at a reduced rate based on need. A minimum GPA or any related criteria will NOT be required because that is just anther barrier; students with the lowest grades are the ones that need the most help! The only criteria for a student to qualify is the commitment to try their best.

How soon do we need funds?
We aim to have some tutoring scholarships available starting next semester. $10,000 is enough to offer weekly tutoring for 15-20 students until the end of this school year. As soon as we have enough to offer the first scholarship, we will begin and will add additional scholars as more funds are raised.

Thank you so much for joining our efforts to provide teens with the help they need to get the education they deserve!
