About Us

Envisions Project Foundation is a 501C3 non-profit organization. By instilling a vision of personal growth and professional achievement, we aim to cultivate a generation that not only dreams but also actively works towards becoming the leaders they aspire to be. Together, our foundation envisions a future where first-generation and/or low income student realizes their potential, driven by the conviction that personal development is the key to unlocking limitless possibilities. 

Since its inception, Envisions has awarded four college scholarships ranging from $1,000 - $3,000 each to help alleviate out of state expenses before starting their college degree. Most students only receive their financial aid funds once they are in school, leaving a financial gap and burden to cover out of pocket expenses during the summer months. This is often an overlooked financial challenge for first generation low income families; Envisions aims to address this gap.

For first-generation, low-income students venturing out of state for their college degrees presents one of a kind challenges. Our 12-month mentorship program provides a crucial support network that can help navigate unfamiliar academic and social environments. Moreover, mentorship fosters a sense of belonging and confidence, empowering students to fully engage with their education and community, laying a solid foundation for their future success.
