Navigating college preparation is challenging, especially for first-generation students who often face financial, academic, and emotional hurdles. With 56% of U.S. college students being first-generation, a gap in graduation rates persists—only 41% graduate compared to 65% of their continuing-generation peers (NASPA, 2023).
Enter iLevelUP, an innovative app developed by Believe in Me, specifically tailored to empower marginalized first-generation students by transforming college prep into an engaging, interactive, and supportive experience.
