Scholar Success Circle
A Community Committed to Scholar Success
The Scholar Success Circle is a purpose-driven, philanthropic community of supporters dedicated to expanding access for scholars across Los Angeles. Members help propel transformative opportunities for Alliance scholars by joining a group of individuals dedicated to creating lasting impact.
Help Us Make a Difference
At Alliance College-Ready Public Schools Foundation, we know brilliance is equally distributed across Los Angeles — regardless of zip code — but opportunity is not. The city of Los Angeles needs leaders willing to invest in the next generation and shine a light on their brilliance.
The Circle champions the mission of Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, helping ensure that each of our scholars graduates ready for college and a purposeful future.
“Alliance’s scholars are exceptional, its families are inspiring, and its leaders are talented, caring professionals committed to student success. It is an honor to support their work across Los Angeles.”
