Most of On Point’s students are low-income, first-generation college students ages 17-29, who are recruited at high schools, community centers, youth homeless shelters, and refugee sites throughout the community. A third of our students have no parents in their lives. More than half are no longer in high school, and have no guidance counselor to assist them when they come to us. Without On Point, for many of these students, there would be no college.
On Point further exceeds the odds by maintaining a 70% freshman to sophomore persistence rate – exceeding the national average. We also help over 300 students and graduates find employment – including full, part-time, and seasonal jobs and internships – each year.
Each day, On Point for College graduates are changing the world as doctors, nurses, teachers, firefighters, bank managers, business owners, college administrators, college professors, actors, scientists, youth workers—and more. Five of our Sudanese “Lost Boy” graduates who were resettled in Upstate New York as a result of that country’s civil war have even returned to South Sudan to open schools and medical clinics, extending the benefits of their On Point for College experiences well beyond our borders.
At On Point for College we have witnessed first-hand how a college education can transform our graduates, their families, and our entire community.
