A Better Chance

Since our founding in 1963, A Better Chance has been opening doors to greater educational opportunities. As a national non-profit organization, our mission is to increase substantially the number of well-educated students of color capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.

A Better Chance recruits, refers and supports students of color in grades 4-9 into some of the nation's finest college preparatory schools (entering at grades 6-11). They include independent day schools, boarding schools, and select top-performing public schools.
