Overview

CAP commits to coaching our students, who we call Wave-Makers, to graduate from college as quickly and with as little debt as possible while equipping them with the skills and experiences needed to be competitive contributors to the global workforce. While nationally only nine percent of low-income students graduate from college by age 24, 86% of CAP graduates are on track to graduate within six years. CAP provides financial literacy training, one-to-one college coaching, and need-based scholarship funding for more than 600 students. CAP serves Making Waves Academy high school graduates, CAP Bay Area recipients, and students from the former Making Waves Education Program.
