DESTINATION : COLLEGE
A Message from the CEO
In this report, “Destination: College,” you’ll hear from some of the
hundreds of Fulfillment Fund scholars now attending colleges and
universities across the country. You’ll also meet some of the more than
2,500 high school students we served in the 2014-15 academic year,
including:
•	Lennox Markley, an 11th grade student at Crenshaw High School in
South Los Angeles who dreams of becoming a doctor.
•	Jazmah Freeman, an 11th grade student at Hamilton High School
who believes college is the key to having a “successful, meaningful,
comfortable life.”
•	Kimberly Martinez, a 12th grade student at Gertz-Ressler High School
near downtown LA, who wants to go to college in tribute to her
mother, who didn’t finish elementary school.
•	Noah Oluwide, an 11th grade student at King-Drew Medical Magnet
who immigrated with his family from Nigeria and plans to “stay
focused, motivated and inspire others.”
•	Israel Mazas, a 12th grade student at New Open World (NOW)
Academy in Koreatown who, later this year, will become the first in his
family to graduate high school and go on to college.
These students face daunting challenges and yet, with your support,
they are destined for college. We’re incredibly proud that more than 95%
of our 12th graders graduated from high school in the 2014-15 academic
year, and of those graduates, 96% reported that they planned to attend
college in the fall.
These are remarkable outcomes, and they wouldn’t be possible without
you. On behalf of the Fulfillment Fund, I would especially like to thank
you and all those who contributed time, energy and financial resources
to make a tremendous difference in the lives of our city’s young people
and their families.
Thank you,
Kenny Rogers
“In my family, no one
has even graduated high
school. A Fulfillment Fund
advisor entered the room
when I was in 9th grade.
She introduced herself
and she talked about the
Fulfillment Fund. That was
the moment I realized, I
had an epiphany, that I’m
going to college.”

WHAT IS THE NEED FOR OUR WORK?
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF OUR WORK?
Source: Pell Institute, Pell Institute Fact Sheet, Dec. 2011 **Those who enrolled in a four-year institution in 2009; based on available data;
national economic downturn in 2008 led to increased hardship for our already economically under-resourced students (ripple effect)
WHAT WE DO:
We help students growing up in L.A.’s educationally and economically under-resourced
communities see college as a key destination on their life’s journey.
“Though I have struggled, I have managed to keepa smile on my face. Every day I thank FulfillmentFund for being the root of my education and givingme the push to further my education. If it wasn’tfor Fulfillment Fund and the staff helping me, Iwouldn’t be standing where I am standing today.” Dalacely Alvarez, Fulfillment Fund ScholarUC Riverside, B.A. in Chicano Studies (degree expected June 2016)
Nationally, only about half of high school graduates from low-income communities enroll in
college. Thanks to the services the Fulfillment Fund provides, more than 95%of our 12th
graders graduate from high school with the intention of going to college.
Whereas nationally, only 10.9% of low-income, first-generation students who enroll in four-year
colleges graduate within six years, 60%of Fulfillment Fund scholars do.**

By 2020, 65%of U.S. jobs will require
some form of postsecondary education, but
only roughly 39% of U.S. working-age
adults hold
a postsecondary credential.

“I was not in the magnet track section or any special
program, but I did have the Fulfillment Fund. In every step
of the way, the Fulfillment Fund staff was always there
for support and advice. Their mentorship and a few words of
encouragement transformed the mindset of a Manual Arts
High school student seven years ago.”

“Summer melt” - the phenomenon in which college-
bound high school graduates abandon their plans
over the course of the summer - disproportionately
affects first-generation, under-resourced students
of color. That’s why every summer we host
Fulfillment Fund University, a unique interactive
college simulation event designed to prepare
incoming college students –and their parents –
for the realities of college life.

“During high school the
Fulfillment Fund organized
and funded many helpful
workshops and tours including
campus visits and Destination
College. I would not have
known so much about the
variety of colleges that are out
there waiting for students to apply. Now that I am out of high school,
many might think the interaction between students and the Fulfillment
Fund would disintegrate. That is not the case. They still keep in touch
and have open arms to students. I cannot stop saying thank you enough.”

“It warms my heart to know
that the Fulfillment Fund cares
about my success. The kind
gestures, such as the Starbucks
gift cards that I receive during
finals week, add fuel to my
fire and help me to burn the
midnight oil and pass my
final exams. Because of the
Fulfillment Fund scholarship… I
am able to show other minorities
in my family and community
that higher education is
absolutely achievable.”

  • 1. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 2015 DESTINATION : COLLEGE
  • 2. DESTINATION : COLLEGE1 DESTINATION : COLLEGE A Message from the CEO In this report, “Destination: College,” you’ll hear from some of the hundreds of Fulfillment Fund scholars now attending colleges and universities across the country. You’ll also meet some of the more than 2,500 high school students we served in the 2014-15 academic year, including: • Lennox Markley, an 11th grade student at Crenshaw High School in South Los Angeles who dreams of becoming a doctor. • Jazmah Freeman, an 11th grade student at Hamilton High School who believes college is the key to having a “successful, meaningful, comfortable life.” • Kimberly Martinez, a 12th grade student at Gertz-Ressler High School near downtown LA, who wants to go to college in tribute to her mother, who didn’t finish elementary school. • Noah Oluwide, an 11th grade student at King-Drew Medical Magnet who immigrated with his family from Nigeria and plans to “stay focused, motivated and inspire others.” • Israel Mazas, a 12th grade student at New Open World (NOW) Academy in Koreatown who, later this year, will become the first in his family to graduate high school and go on to college. These students face daunting challenges and yet, with your support, they are destined for college. We’re incredibly proud that more than 95% of our 12th graders graduated from high school in the 2014-15 academic year, and of those graduates, 96% reported that they planned to attend college in the fall. These are remarkable outcomes, and they wouldn’t be possible without you. On behalf of the Fulfillment Fund, I would especially like to thank you and all those who contributed time, energy and financial resources to make a tremendous difference in the lives of our city’s young people and their families. Thank you, Kenny Rogers “In my family, no one has even graduated high school. A Fulfillment Fund advisor entered the room when I was in 9th grade. She introduced herself and she talked about the Fulfillment Fund. That was the moment I realized, I had an epiphany, that I’m going to college.” Israel Mazas New Open World (NOW) Academy (graduation expected 2016) Photo taken at Destination College, UCLA

Source: Pell Institute, Pell Institute Fact Sheet, Dec. 2011 **Those who enrolled in a four-year institution in 2009; based on available data; national economic downturn in 2008 led to increased hardship for our already economically under-resourced students (ripple effect) WHAT WE DO: We help students growing up in L.A.’s educationally and economically under-resourced communities see college as a key destination on their life’s journey. “Though I have struggled, I have managed to keepa smile on my face. Every day I thank FulfillmentFund for being the root of my education and givingme the push to further my education. If it wasn’tfor Fulfillment Fund and the staff helping me, Iwouldn’t be standing where I am standing today.” Dalacely Alvarez, Fulfillment Fund ScholarUC Riverside, B.A. in Chicano Studies (degree expected June 2016) Nationally, only about half of high school graduates from low-income communities enroll in college. Thanks to the services the Fulfillment Fund provides, more than 95%of our 12th graders graduate from high school with the intention of going to college. Whereas nationally, only 10.9% of low-income, first-generation students who enroll in four-year colleges graduate within six years, 60%of Fulfillment Fund scholars do.** Source: National Center for Education Statistics, “Immediate College Enrollment Rate,” March 2015 By 2020, 65%of U.S. jobs will require some form of postsecondary education, but only roughly 39% of U.S. working-age adults hold a postsecondary credential. Source: Pew Charitable Trust, “Moving On Up,” 2013 *86% of Fulfillment Fund high school students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM), indicating a household income that falls below $600/week for a family of four. Sources: Lumina Foundation, Strategic Plan 2013-16; Lumina Foundation, “A Stronger Nation Through Higher Education,” 2015 The lowest income Americans who obtain a college degree are FIVE TIMESmore likely than their peers to escape poverty.*

In every step of the way, the Fulfillment Fund staff was always there for support and advice. Their mentorship and a few words of encouragement transformed the mindset of a Manual Arts High school student seven years ago.” Jose Carrera B.S., Electrical Engineering University of Southern California (2015)

When the Fulfillment Fund came into my life, it was like a family member that motivated me to do more, to go one step ahead and not give up.” Noah Oluwide King-Drew Medical Magnet (graduation expected 2017) Photo taken at Destination College, UCLA *89 students were dually enrolled which means they were enrolled in both the Mentor Program and College Access Program.
