It's Time to Hit the Books - The Class of 2026 is Off to College
byHighSight
This fall, the Class of 2026 is embarking on their biggest journey yet — college. As they take the next step in their education our scholars are ready to pursue their dream careers and discover what the world has in store for them.
Since 1992, HighSight's mission has allowed students from low-income families to excel in high school and graduate from four-year colleges across the country. 100% of our graduates earn full-tuition scholarships — every year. Our biggest secret to making this happen? We saw potential, we took a chance, we invested in them, the evidence came in, and we were right.

"The most important lesson HighSight taught me is the value of discipline and support. The program showed me that when you stay consistent, stay organized, and put real effort into your goals, you can achieve more than you thought."
—Abigail C., Holy Trinity High School '26, St. Olaf College
Through their hard work, our expert guidance, and their parent's support, our scholars are prepared to meet challenges head-on. Adapting to college is easy, after all, when you've studied abroad in China. Part of HighSight's formula encourages rising seniors to participate in travel programs that give students the needed skills to thrive on a college campus and beyond. Some students choose to study abroad internationally, while others practice living the "#dormlife" at east-coast boarding school summer programs. The class of 2026 was no exception. Collectively, they traveled 172,400 miles. That's approximately 7 times around the world. Upon return, Wake Forest University seems like a hop, skip, and a jump away when you've spent 4-weeks studying in Morocco.

The class of 2026 amassed over $1.7 million in college scholarships. The average out-of-pocket cost after work-study and loans?-$1,339 (Yes, that is a negative number.) Whether it's at Wake Forest University or Augustana College, we are extremely proud of all of our scholars and are looking forward to seeing what they get up to next.
