Gift $20 for STEP’s 20 Year Anniversary

Twenty years ago, STEP's first class of low-income, first-generation students prepared to venture into the Alaskan wilderness. Now, after 20 years of empowering low-income students to achieve their dreams of a college degree:

  • STEP has over 750 alums and is currently working with over 300 first-generation, low-income Arizona students.

  • STEPPER's have earned degrees at Arizona state universities and highly ranked schools nationwide including Duke, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale.

  • STEP students have completed 40 Alaskan Leadership Expeditions, thanks to our partnership with NOLS.

  • STEP alums have received over $31 million in 1st-year gift aid from the schools they attended, corresponding to over $125 million in gift aid over four years.

Every single one of our alums makes us so proud, but there's more work to do. That's why we're inviting you to donate $20 (or more!) to commemorate our 20th anniversary.

Your generous contribution will fund our College-Prep Program, ensuring that we can continue to educate, inspire, and empower low-income Arizona high schoolers to achieve college success.
