We strive to see 60% of working age adults in Tampa Bay achieving a post-secondary degree or high-quality certificate by 2025.

To accomplish our goal, much of our work focuses on breaking down barriers that block people from attaining a degree. By providing easier access to grants, scholarships, and tuition reimbursement, and supporting clear pathways to degree completion, people who thought college was out of reach can get the resources and support they need to succeed.

How You Can Help

Our success depends on the involvement of individuals and businesses throughout Tampa Bay. There are many ways to get involved, from advocating for education, to making a gift or volunteering.
