DONATE
CU One to One offers scholarships for our students. Students who are high school graduates and have taken part in the program for at least three years can get a scholarship.
A scholarship award does not depend on grades or financial need.
The scholarship applies to college, community college, or technical school. Students can use the money for tuition, books, fees or other expenses billed by the institution. Funds get released directly to the student's account at their institution.
Donations from businesses and individuals are welcome and tax-deductible. 100% of your donation goes toward funding scholarships unless otherwise indicated.
Corporate sponsors can fund a semester or full-year scholarship. Endowed scholarships can be funded in an individual or company's name. Corporate sponsors may choose to donate to our year-end banquets. These celebrations recognize our program participants.

Thanks from our College Students
I'm a junior at Knox College, majoring in Elementary Education and Creative Writing. I want to be a teacher to help kids who are struggling in school or who feel like the system has given up on them, since that was the type of student I was. I had help from some amazing teachers and now want to do the same for future generations. I plan to use my education and degree to make the world a better place. I'm excited for my next two years at college and it means the world to me that the mentor program helped me get here. Urbana Graduate attending Knox College
As a driven and ambitious first-generation student, and fueled by my passion for empowering others through technology and information, I am determined to make a meaningul impact in the technology industry as a Product Marketer. Having had the opportunity to work at Google as a People Operations Intern on the Careers OnAir team, I have learned firsthand about the incredible opportunities and dynamic work environment that a career in tech provides. I am grateful for the support of the CU 1-1 Mentor scholarship, which has allowed me to focus on my academic and professional goals without the added stress of financial concerns.
