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, a 11th grade student at Crenshaw High School in South Los Angeles who dreams of becoming a doctor.

• Jazmah Freeman, a 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.

“ 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.”

• Noah Oluwide, a 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 studentt 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

FULFILLMENT FUND UNIVERSITY “Summer melt” - the phenomenon in which collegebound 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.”
