Fair Opportunity Project
Fair Opportunity Project[1] is a centralized platform of free college admissions and financial aid resources. Luke Heine and Cole Scanlon founded the non-profit organization to improve the likelihood that young people from any background have equal information on the college and financial aid application process.
History[edit]
Fair Opportunity Project was founded in April 2016. It was a nation-wide effort to provide free college admissions resources building off of Luke Heine’s Midwest Information Parity Project that was sent to 6,000 principals and superintendents in nine states.[2] In 2016, Fair Opportunity Project worked with various college students, high school counselors, and advisors to write a free 70-page college admissions and financial aid guide including successful college essays, free online videos, scholarship websites, and much more.
In 2018, Fair Opportunity Project launched a free mentorship program under the guidance of Spencer Wilson and Sam Sokolsky-Tifft. The program provides free one-to-one college advising from local mentors to high school students in Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and California.[3]
In 2020, Robert Lue and Cole Scanlon launched FairOpportunityX, a video course designed to help high school students navigate the U.S. college application and financial aid process.[4]
Growth[edit]
Since sending out the first batch of guides to 57,000 public schools, Fair Opportunity Project launched video modules, translated the guide into multiple languages, and won Forbes 30 under 30.[5] Fair Opportunity Project has been featured in Thrillest,[6] the Harvard Ed Magazine,[7] and the Harvard Gazette.[8]
