Dream Scholars Mission
At PathIvy, we believe talent is universal, but opportunity is not. PathIvy Dream Scholars breaks down barriers for high-achieving, under-resourced students by providing mentorship, resources, and advocacy—at no cost.
Distinct from our personalized college guidance services, PathIvy Dream Scholars is a fully philanthropic initiative, empowering well-deserved and under-resourced students. By investing in these scholars, we hope to foster a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable academic landscape.
