The FUTURE Foundation of Sacramento "College Program" The FUTURE Foundation’s “College Program” is quite simple, unique and important. The Foundation provides selected Sacramento area students, whose families do not possess the financial means to pay for college, volunteer mentoring and funding in support of their college education. College funding includes costs related to tuition, student fees, books and supplies for students. Our participating students, upon meeting the minimum requirements, will also be guaranteed enrollment to California State Universities with whom we partner. Qualified students are selected at the end of their freshman year of high school. The Foundation pairs a volunteer with each student to become the student’s mentor throughout the program. The Foundation’s mentoring program is a key component to achieving success. Mentors support students during their final remaining three years in high school as the students prepare to attend college. In order to optimize the chances that College Program student will graduate from college, the mentor will continue to be available while the student attends college to answer life’s tough questions, motivate, encourage and guide the student toward graduation. The FUTURE Foundation of Sacramento seeks students who show significant potential but lack the financial ability to pay for their college education. In most cases, we expect that the selected student will be the first in their family to attend college and, as such, may not have been exposed to college as an option for their future. Note: It is not the mission of the Foundation to attempt to rehabilitate teens who have habitual trouble with the law, gangs, drugs or with their academic performance and commitment.
