Scholarshot, Inc.
Changing Lives with College Degrees
ScholarShot supports first-generation students in achieving career-ready certificates or degrees to strengthen the Texas workforce and improve institutional outcomes. Data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) shows statewide that only 52% of graduating high school students attempt any postsecondary credential and less than one third (22%) succeed. 70% of todays jobs require some postsecondary credential. ScholarShot has developed a proven formula where 9 out of 10 of our students enrolled in the program earn life-changing vocational, associate or undergraduate degrees. Our Scholars receive two forms of program support from ScholarShot. Firstly, Scholars are eligible for up to $6,000 per year in scholarships from ScholarShot to bridge the total cost of attendance and available public grants, loans and EFC (Estimated Family Contribution). Secondly, each Scholar is assigned an Academic Manager (AM) at a ratio of 50 Scholars to each AM. While our funding is a key component, its our Academic Management processes that drive our high degree completion rate. To date over 165 first-generation students have successfully graduated from our program.
