CollegeSpring

CollegeSpring is a national non-profit organization that provides free SAT and ACT preparation to students who are historically underrepresented in higher education, including students from low-income backgrounds, students of color, and those who would be the first in their families to attend college. Founded in the Bay Area in 2008, CollegeSpring has since helped over 30,000 students raise their test scores and gain confidence to attend college. CollegeSpring accomplishes this mission by 1) training high school teachers to provide SAT and ACT instruction during the school day to all students in a junior class and 2) managing the extensive logistical work that prevents schools from offering test prep and college access services in house. By bringing test prep directly into the classroom, where all students are, CollegeSpring expands access to formal test prep, encouraging all students to consider college as a viable option for their futures.
