Nyah Project
I founded Nyah Project in 2014 to provide amazing young people with access to life changing opportunities. Nyah Project clears the pathway to college by providing training and tech tools that remove the practical and systemic barriers that prevent more than 40% of under-resourced students around the country each year from accessing higher education. Over the past 10 years, Nyah Project has helped high school students win over $40 million in scholarships (with the median award of $217,000) and avoid more than $18 million in student loan debt. Students in our fellowship program boast a 100% college matriculation rate with 98% winning scholarships.
Access Online, our on-demand college access coaching tech platform, helps individual students and organizations (schools, districts, CBOs, and scholarship programs, etc.) improve outcomes for $250 per student (or less) at a fraction of the cost of private coaching. Since we launched our Access Online Subsidy Fund in 2021, our generous funding partners have enabled Nyah Project to subsidize over $500,000 in platform fees to support more than 1,800 student users who have amassed over 56,000 individual course enrollments.
