Empowering post-secondary students to pursue grand ambitions.
At Wild Vision, we believe that every student’s potential deserves to be realized—regardless of economic circumstance. Our coalition works quietly behind the scenes, partnering with trusted community organizations to provide scholarships, monthly stipends, and consistent encouragement to exceptional young people whose gifts outpace their resources. Rooted in a spirit of justice, we invest not only in students, but also in the relationships and local leadership that help them thrive.
Wild Vision Coalition provides vital assistance to ensure students stay on track despite some of the leading causes of post-secondary dropout.
Scholarship Assistance
Wild Vision provides each student with a small, one-time scholarship to help cover essential start-up costs that go beyond tuition—things like laptops, software, and dorm supplies. It’s a practical boost to make sure every student begins college prepared and confident.
Monthly Stipends
Every Wild Vision student receives a monthly stipend to help cover everyday essentials—books, lab fees, groceries, even a little leisure. We trust our students to choose what they need most, and we believe this flexibility helps them build a balanced, supported college experience.
Emergency Fund
One of the leading causes of college dropout is sudden, unexpected expenses caused by personal or family emergencies. To help prevent financial crises from derailing a student’s education, Wild Vision maintains an emergency fund. All Wild Vision students are eligible to apply for emergency assistance whenever unforeseen needs arise.
Ongoing Support
Every Wild Vision student receives regular check-ins with our community partners to talk through progress, challenges, and any support they may need. And each semester, we send every student a care package during exam season—a small reminder that they’re seen, supported, and not facing college alone.
Our model is different.
Community organizations are best equipped to identify talented students who need our financial assistance.
Most scholarship and stipend programs rely on a traditional application process—one that places additional burdens on students already facing significant hardships and prioritizes the funder’s criteria over the students’ realities. Wild Vision takes a different approach. Instead of asking students to navigate an onerous application system, we partner with community organizations that work directly with young people to identify each cohort.
Our community partners know which students are talented yet struggling because they see them every day. They understand their social and financial situations and have built positive, ongoing relationships with them. By trusting these partners, we put communities in the driver’s seat and ensure support reaches the students who need it most.
