We’re helping to transform learning and empower students to succeed.

Making Connections
“I come from a family [where] no one has gone to college. I feel like I’ve broken the cycle.”
– Tim, Aspire mentee from Houston, TX
“…You all motivate me to go to college, take school seriously, and be successful in life.”
– Student mentee from Dallas, TX
Through Aspire Mentoring Academy, our employees have provided more than 160,000 students with more than 1 million hours of mentoring.
We collaborate with non-profit education groups to connect students to mentors, provide opportunities to learn life skills and about diverse career paths.

Supporting What Works
AT&T is proud to work with many successful education organizations that are meeting the unique needs of students in their communities.
AT&T’s supports the achievement of the national graduation rate goal of 90% by 2020 through the Grad Nation campaign.
Graduation rates reached a record high of 82.3% for the class of 2014, but there is much work to be done to meet the goal.
We are also working toward the goal of increasing the number of Americans with high-quality, post-secondary degrees to 60%.
