WISE UP, a 501(c)3 Organization

Admissions Program Recruiter

Fully trained. Leads provided.

WISE UP was founded in 2015 with the mission of assisting at-risk youth who have proven desire and ability through the college and trade school admission and financial aid process, providing ongoing mentoring through degree completion. Sadly, only 1 in 10 at-risk students who begin their college education finish with a bachelor’s degree. WISE UP is committed to helping students who might otherwise “fall through the cracks” on their journey to a college degree.

Are you the person who can recruit students

and help them break the cycle of poverty through education?
