A big thank you to Tumble 22 for donating a delicious lunch for our AmeriCorps coaches! As a local Austin favorite, it was the perfect way to welcome coaches who relocated from other parts of the country and introduce them to a true Austin staple.
We are so grateful for local businesses like Tumble22 that show up for our team. Thank you for fueling our coaches and our mission!

40+ Texas students. Read about the Adam R. Scripps Foundation partnership here: https://vist.ly/5c5bm 🎓
This spring, College Possible Texas celebrated 16 new Adam Scripps Foundation College Possible Scholars from Austin, Fredericksburg, and Houston. Each student receives four years of last-dollar scholarship funding, so cost alone never stands between them and a degree. With near-peer coaching at no cost to students or families, the results speak for themselves: 100% of these Texas students remain on track toward graduation.

Meet the 16 Texas students celebrating their Adam R. Scripps Foundation College Possible Scholarship this spring — and heading to campuses across the state and beyond.

Schools may be closed for the summer, but our coaches are showing up for students every single day. Thank you, coaches!
Summer melt is the term for when students who are accepted to college do not always make it to their first day of class. This summer, coaches in Austin are walking alongside students through that process, helping them secure housing, finalize course schedules and prepare for the semester ahead.
It is steady, often unseen work, done one phone call and one check-in at a time, and we are so grateful for the coaches who show up for students all summer long.
