Greenhouse Scholars

Greenhouse Scholars is a non-profit organization with the slogan "The Community Transforming Communities." The company's mission centers around creating a diverse community of leaders committed to enabling individuals from all backgrounds to pursue their chosen path in life. Their program, which was founded in 2005, provides comprehensive support to high-performing, under-resourced college students, including mentorship, peer support, internships, professional networking, and financial aid. One of Greenhouse Scholars'​ most impactful statistics is that 90% of their scholars graduate within six years, compared to the national average of 11% for low-income students. With an average annual household income of $32,000 for their scholars' families, and 76% of scholars being first-generation college attendees, the organization is making a significant difference in breaking the cycle of limited opportunities for under-resourced communities. Moreover, each scholar, on average, directly impacts and empowers 60 low-income middle and high school students. The company's focus on creating a community of leaders aligned with values such as leadership, accountability, and relentlessness indicates a strong ethos and purpose behind their work. As a non-profit in the Financial Services industry, Greenhouse Scholars' work not only impacts individual lives but also aims to effect generational change in communities globally.
