Mission Statement
Summit realizes that access to quality test preparation can be a huge boost in the college selection and application process. Many students do not have the means to access these services. Summit is working with non-profit community-based organizations and select schools to make free tutoring available to first-generation students. We are seeking motivated and responsible students who will make the most of this opportunity.

Our History
Established in 2020, the Summit Scholars Program has allowed Summit to give back to the community and address some of the systematic inequality we see around us by doing what we know best – tutoring. Each year, Summit has worked with area community-based organizations in order to identify students with great academic potential who are either first-generation college students or currently residing in underserved communities in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York.
In addition to helping these students prepare for the SATs or ACTs, Summit also matches the students with area independent educational consultants for college admissions coaching. We are grateful to the tutors and educational consultants who have graciously volunteered their time to assist us in our mission to help these students access additional college resources.
We are also grateful to our non-profit partners. Each of these organizations has a mission that is closely aligned with Summit’s own of helping students reach their full potential.
