Financial Barriers Shouldn't Block College or Career Dreams. We Remove Them.
School choice opens doors. We help high school students walk through them, with the financial support, guidance, and networks they need to succeed.
Breaking Cycles. Building Leaders.
Creating Communities.
Scholarships
Higher On-Time Graduation
Scholarship recipients are 30% more likely to graduate on time, reducing financial stress that would otherwise force them to work instead of focus on academics.
Full Letter Grade Improvement
Students receiving scholarships see measurable GPA improvements equivalent to one full letter grade, directly tied to reduced financial stress and ability to study without financial pressure.
Mentorship
Reduced Delinquency & Crime
Mentorship programs show measurable reductions in aggression and delinquent behavior among at-risk youth, with effects ranging 11-29% depending on program intensity and mentee advocacy focus.
Fewer Arrests & Better Futures
Students with school-based mentoring combined with case management had significantly fewer arrests in adulthood and higher post-secondary education enrollment.
Financial Literacy
Crime Prevention Shield
Financial literacy fosters resilience to criminal recruitment and exploitation. Lack of financial awareness makes youth 10x more vulnerable to organized crime recruitment through "quick money" schemes.
Credit Score Advantage
Students with financial literacy education have credit scores 25-27 points higher, reducing debt vulnerability and keeping them out of financial desperation that drives crime.
Exposure
Aspiration Over Desperation
76% of at-risk youth with mentorship and exposure aspire to college, versus only 50% without. Real-world exposure fundamentally shifts identity from "gang member" to "future leader."
Return Per Dollar Invested
Delinquency prevention programs save taxpayers $7-10 for every $1 invested, primarily through reduced incarceration costs averaging $34,000-$64,000 per year per youth.
Exposure Replaces Limitation. Your Gift Makes It Possible.
Every young person deserves the chance to see what's possible. At Freedom of Choice, we strengthen the bridge between students, families, mentors, and schools by providing meaningful guidance, real-world exposure, and belief-building opportunities. When students are supported by a committed community, their confidence grows, their goals expand, and their future opens.
A Proven Path to Success
School choice programs have opened doors for thousands of students in under-resourced communities. But access to a better school isn't enough. Many students still face financial barriers that force difficult choices, limited exposure to career and educational pathways, and a lack of mentorship to guide them forward. Freedom of Choice bridges that gap.
We provide scholarships that eliminate tuition barriers, mentorship from experienced professionals who believe in their potential, financial literacy education that builds lifelong confidence, and real-world exposure that expands what students believe is possible. When students are freed from financial pressure and guided by trusted mentors, they don't just succeed in school—they build generational impact for themselves, their families, and their communities.
