The Uplift Difference

Learn & Earn

Uplift scholars can earn up to $3,100 for college or career after graduation with our unique "Learn & Earn" scholarship program! Starting in 5th grade, scholars complete challenges throughout the year to earn credits per year. Credits accumulate and convert to dollars awarded after high school graduation. Challenges focus on encouraging global-mindedness, fostering strong school culture, and achieving college and career readiness.

Road to College and Career

Uplift’s unparalleled Road To College & Career (RTCC) program starts in middle school and continues after high school, through college, and into a career. In middle school and high school scholars are shown a variety of college and career options, and counselors help scholars and families choose a "best fit" path for the future. After high school, dedicated alumni counselors continue to support alums through college and into a career.

Safety and Security

The safety of our scholars is of the utmost importance. Each Uplift campus features gated and fenced grounds, electronic access systems, security cameras, police officers on campus, and locked exterior and classroom doors. Our vigilant staff and well-rehearsed emergency procedures ensure a community where scholars feel safe and protected.
