The Be A Leader Foundation is dedicated to increasing the number of students who are both prepared for and succeed in higher education. Through empowering students with essential tools, leadership skills, and consistent support, Be A Leader transforms lives and creates life-long opportunities. Founded in 2002 as a scholarship-granting organization, the Foundation launched its first program in 2006, starting with just 32 eighth graders. Today, it has expanded to offer a Pipeline of comprehensive programs, including the Arizona Meta Network for School Improvement, collectively impacting thousands of students annually, from middle school through college. By providing students and their families with critical guidance throughout the complex college, scholarship, and FAFSA application process, Be A Leader remains focused on a clear and powerful goal: ensuring every participant earns a college degree.
