Military Family Connect
Gratitude Initiative: Gratitude Initiative (GI) is a 501c3 non-profit that provides full-service college and career prep free of charge to the children of active-duty military, veterans, disabled veterans, and gold star families. They begin working with students as early as the 8th grade and stay with them until they graduate college. Their program is delivered online so that they can support a family anywhere around the globe, but it is backed up by a team of highly trained counselors based in Texas that work directly with the families via email, phone, or chat.
The program produces great results…currently, 100% of their graduating high school seniors have been accepted into their #1 choice university and are receiving an average financial aid award from their university of $22,000 per year for 4 years.
