Rise Together Education is dedicated to improving college graduation rates by providing mentoring and financial resources to low income Palo Alto High School students and graduates, who have excelled academically and been accepted to an accredited 4-year college or a 2-year community college with a direct transfer agreement.

The specific objectives and purpose of this organization are to provide mentoring to Palo Alto High School students who meet a low-income threshold (measured by qualification for reduced or free lunches) and further to provide financial assistance to those who have been accepted to an accredited 4-year college or a 2-year community college with a direct transfer agreement program .  The number of students Rise Together Education is able to support is dependent upon fundraising efforts; however, the goal is to provide scholarships ranging from $500 up to $10,000 per year for each student.
