Summer Scholarships Need You

Student Leaders Lifting Students

We are Pine View high school students rallying our community to fund scholarships, mentorship, and advocacy so Title I learners keep learning, growing, and believing in themselves, even when budgets are cut.

How Lift Up Scholars Began

Lift Up Scholars began when Connor, a Pine View student, saw budget cuts cancel summer camps for underserved peers. Inspired by his mother’s journey from Title 1 student to teacher, he launched this student-led initiative. Today, we bridge opportunity gaps through scholarships, peer mentorship, and a dedicated community of student leaders.
