At Circle Match, we believe in the power of all stories.
Education should be a level playing field.
Circle Match connects driven students from underrepresented communities to the college-going process by providing near-peer college advising. We believe that all students have a story to share, and we especially encourage students to apply who have faced extenuating circumstances, are from underserved backgrounds, who qualify as future first-generation college students. Applications typically open in late November.
Currently, Circle Match serves 12 partner schools. If you think your school is a good match, contact us at info@circlematch.org.

- 500-word essay
