Pass With Flying Colors
Pass With Flying Colors (PWFC) is providing economic opportunity for Chicago’s disadvantaged communities by increasing college graduation rates among low-income, first-generation students.
Their mission is to prepare Chicago’s underserved first-generation students for college and career success.
Kenny and Paula Goldman founded Pass With Flying Colors to enhance the natural motivation of under-served students in the academic middle and provide access to opportunities for their future. With equal focus on college access and persistence, Pass With Flying Colors scholars will graduate from college at dramatically higher rates than peers. Equipped with a bachelor's degree, they'll enter meaningful careers that provide economic opportunity and choice in their adult lives.
Since 2010, PWFC’s programs have provided first-generation students with high-touch support, experiential learning opportunities, and crucial guidance on college applications, financial aid and career development throughout high school and college.
