New Partnership Catapults upliftED's efforts to increase Student Success in Central Florida

With staff in place and a strong foundation, we knew we were better equipped to take upliftED to the next level by moving forward with the creation of the Student Success HUB. The launching of any new project takes not only planning and designing, but also dollars to implement those plans and designs.

We are excited to announce our newest partnership with Helios Education Foundation. HFUW was selected as 1 of 5 grant recipients of the Helios Education Foundation’s recent Postsecondary Student Success RFP process. The $750,000 investment will fuel a 3-year initiative aimed to dismantle financial and systemic barriers to higher education, ultimately boosting FAFSA completion, college enrollment, and student persistence in Orange and Osceola counties.
