Big dreams deserve big support.
Our Mission: Reach for Greatness Inc. awards scholarships to rising 9th-12th grade students in the Florida Keys who have bold ambitions – those who strive for greatness even before graduating from high school. Whether it’s a summer program, internship, leadership retreat, or creative opportunity, we fill a critical gap in program funding for students who have little to no access to scholarships at these grade levels.
We are a nonprofit dedicated to supporting students of all ages who are reaching beyond traditional paths to achieve their dreams. Founded by a young visionary who struggled to find funding for a prestigious program at Columbia University, Reach for Greatness was born out of firsthand experience - and the determination to change the game for others.
