Today, we conclude our highlight of the 2024 Class of Big Shoulders Fund Summer Fellows! For over 11 years, the Summer Fellows Program has connected college students with participating Big Shoulders Fund schools to help with their summer enrollment marketing. Their efforts includes increasing schools’ online presence, creating comprehensive digital marketing plans, auditing and devising innovative social media strategies, and much more. Help us thank our all of our Fellows for their hard work supporting our schools this summer! #bigshouldersfund

Join us in congratulating the Class of 2024! We are proud of all of our scholars and are honored to have the chance to witness their growth throughout the years. Alumni from Big Shoulders Fund schools graduate from college at nearly 2x the national rate. Alumni go on to volunteer, work, vote, and study at rates higher than their peers. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!
