Another inspiring day with students from Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical High School preparing them for one of Country Bank’s upcoming Credit for Life Fairs. During the orientation, we walked through budgeting, managing expenses, and planning for real-life financial decisions. This week, they’ll put their skills to the test and experience what it takes to make smart choices for their financial futures. Looking forward to seeing their growth and excitement as they navigate their first steps toward financial independence! 💚 #MadeToMakeADifference #FinancialLiteracy #CreditForLife

250. The number of First Gen Scholars we serve on an annual basis. 6,000. annual total of first-generation, low-income students in the County of San Diego who meet the requirements to apply for a four-year university, each with the potential to make a significant impact. 50%. The percentage of first-gens each year in San Diego who DO NOT apply for this opportunity. If you were the first in your family to go to college, we hope that the stories that our Scholars resonate with you.The question to ask yourself is… what if YOU had First Gen Scholars…where would you apply? Where would you attend? This fall, while we have 16 Scholars from all over San Diego attending Ivy Leagues, Stanford and USC (almost all on full rides), what we are most proud of is that 8 out of every 10 of our Scholars are on track to graduate with no debt! Our summer program is fully funded by the school districts, we have made a promise to support our Scholars year-round. In addition, we have over 700 Scholars currently in college that we continue to support. Our goal is to create that talent pipeline to fulfill the 20K priority sector jobs so that scholars may have thriving careers and build generational wealth for their families.You can play a pivotal role in supporting First Gen Scholars by donating today. https://lnkd.in/gwte4czD The 250 students we serve each year represent just a fraction (1/24th) of the San Diego students who are eligible and deserve the opportunity of a higher education. If you are a local San Diego Company or organization, we are developing a more robust high school and college internship program and we would love to meet with you to see what that partnership could look like. Thank you for your support. A special shout out to the LOCAList San Diego and Fox 5 San Diego for highlighting us, and to John Lee and Venture X San Diego for allowing the use of your beautiful space. #FirstGenScholars #TheFutureIsFirstGen
