Mission Statement
To empower underserved, first-generation college students to and through college by providing critical information, guidance, scholarships, and ongoing support.
Vision Statement
We believe that the opportunity for college exists for any student who wants to go. To that end, Center for Student Opportunity (CSO) will be a national leader in helping underserved, first-generation college students realize their college opportunity and become successful college graduates.
About Center for Student Opportunity (CSO)
Founded in 2005 by a group of concerned parents, admissions professionals, and nonprofit practitioners, CSO fills the need for better information and resources guiding underserved, first-generation college-bound students in their pursuit of college.
While many schools and local programs across the country provide service to these students, few have the capacity to identify and connect with the many colleges and universities that have targeted these students for admission.
With this in mind, the principals founded CSO as a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit to support colleges and universities in their college access goals and create tools and programs to expand and promote the important opportunities these schools offer underserved, first-generation college students.
