ABOUT MAKING WAVES EDUCATION FOUNDATION
At Making Waves, we are committed to educational equity.

Knowing the opportunities that come with a college degree, we partner with historically underrepresented and underserved students to help make college affordable and graduation attainable. Centering the journeys of our students, our personalized approach includes college and career coaching, scholarships, and financial planning.
