Galin Scholars is a 501(C)3 educational nonprofit. Our mission is to increase access to college preparation for Dane County students with strong academic potential who are from low-to-middle income families and from a broad range of demographic groups underrepresented in college. Many of our scholars will be the first in their family to go to college or the first in their family to follow and traditional college path.
We believe knowledge is power and high-achieving students from all backgrounds can expand their options for college with guidance and targeted support during high school. Galin Scholar’s strategic partnership with Galin Education allows us to provide high school planning, test preparation, academic tutoring, and college guidance to cohorts of Galin Scholars each year. Providing connections for our scholars to access extracurricular opportunities in academics, the arts, and athletics is another important way we are working to increase opportunities for our scholars.
The Galin Scholars program is free to our scholars through individual donations, business partnerships, and grants in addition to contributions from Galin Education.
Galin Scholars also collaborates with school districts, community groups, and other youth-serving organizations that help prepare students for success in high school, college, and beyond.
Our partnership with Galin Education
Galin Education was founded by Zach Galin with a simple goal – to help parents and students navigate the complex world of college admissions. From there, the organization has expanded to provide individualized academic tutoring, test preparation, and one-on-one college counseling. These services have proven valuable to students and their families looking for guidance and support with the goal of accessing their best-fit college.
Recognizing the need to expand access to these services, Zach is actively involved with Galin Scholars to help provide the same high quality, one-on-one support for our scholars. Our comprehensive college preparation program broadens our scholars’ college options by helping them to identify the colleges and universities that will be the best fit for their college experience.
