Nonprofit organization Fair Opportunity Project (Fair Opp) is launching its School Boost program, a comprehensive initiative supported by Ascendium, to ensure that all learners, particularly those from first-generation and low-income backgrounds, have the tools they need to succeed in college, a skilled trade, or other pathways to work after high school.
Building on the success of Fair Opp’s emergency FAFSA support, the School Boost program will pilot this fall in select schools, offering student services with essential tools and resources to support school counselors. Students will have access to the following services:
-
Essay reviews: Trained college essay reviewers will provide written feedback on students’ essays and offer personalized guidance in one-on-one debrief calls.
-
On-demand mentoring: Students can connect with mentors to explore career paths, postsecondary education opportunities, and the financial aid process.

Personalized FAFSA help: Students can schedule one-on-one virtual meetings with a trained Fair Opp financial aid coach, who will guide them step-by-step through the FAFSA application process.
