Mission Statement
Strengthening relationships between individual achievement and institutional accountability, REAP provides services to organizations engaged in community service and/or education; and, it promotes the success of high school students, disadvantaged youth, and/or other individuals in their pursuit to earn a college degree. Our unique programs and services by design simplify individual college identification and selection processes, elevate institutional retention and graduation rates, and help sponsors award and evaluate risk-sensitive scholarships.
About REAP - Research, Education, Advancement & Philanthropy (REAP), Inc. is a nonprofit organization classified as tax-exempt under section 501 ( c )( 3 ) of the Internal Revenue Code and as a public charity under section 509 ( a ) ( 2 ) under the Code.
We promote the success of college-bound high school students and their sponsors. Did you know that: only 51 percent of entering college students graduate within six years; 25 percent of them leave college during their first year; and, 50 percent of the leavers never return to campus? These statistics imply there is a 13 percent risk on the initial investment in college. REAP is developing initiatives to improve these statistics and to protect consumer investments in higher education. In brief, we promote student success by directing them toward a narrow set of key performance measures.
We believe that greater success will result by helping students do a better job of exploring colleges and universities earlier in their search process. Whether in the form of a college selection workshop or a scholarship agency collaboration, REAP strives to elevate student success and to help prospective college students and their sponsors avoid costly mistakes. We provide tools that empower them to achieve greater success by choosing the best college for the right reasons the first time.
Long before students or sponsors commit scarce resources toward an investment tha]t carries a 13 percent risk, REAP seeks to enroll and engage them in:
· Workshops that simplify college search, selection, and application processes.
· An innovative scholarship program enhancing student and organization success rates.
· Collaborations with scholarship providers measuring award recipient outcomes.
These offerings provide an opportunity to increase national retention and graduation rates by strengthening student-institution alignments. REAP’s innovative college selection workshop and scholarship programs emerge from our careful and objective research, which suggests that college-bound students can realize greater success with minor modifications to their current selection methods.
About our clients - They include disadvantaged, at-risk, attrition prone youth, and other individuals who are juniors or seniors looking to enroll in a four year college after their graduation from high school. They are parents, guardians, guidance counselors, and scholarship sponsors. They all deserve better protection of their investments in higher education.
