Mission

The Last Mile Education Fund offers a disruptive approach to increasing diversity in technology and engineering fields by addressing critical gaps in financial support for underrepresented students from low-income backgrounds within sight of a degree. We disrupt the traditional scholarship model by investing in students based on four pillars of Agility, Abundance, Investment, and creation of a Virtuous Circle. Our model was built with research in mind, and we leverage insights from our work to inform the field and conduct system-changing research. Our ultimate goal is to utilize our data and evaluation to eliminate the resource gap that Last Mile currently fills.
