Sponsor a Student Campaign

You can help ensure that a low-income youth who could make it in college, makes it to college!

By sponsoring a student, you will empower a high potential youth with the tools, information, role models and support to make it to college. Your sponsorship allows a student to participate in a college immersion summer workshop, provides a year-long curriculum and support to a student during their senior year, equips a student to be an influential leader among peers and supplies a student to connect with colleges.

Please consider shining a light on a low-income high potential youth in Metro Denver! We hope that you will support us in our critical work by making a donation today!
For more information or to donate, please contact Sara Spanier at (720) 252-3577 or at sspanier(at)collegesummit.org

Annette Langdon

Annette Langdon was an extraordinary person, a dear friend and an amazing volunteer with College Summit.  She made a significant impact on our youth, our staff and our volunteers with her spirit, her energy and her passion for helping others.  Not only did Annette volunteer and help youth succeed, she got her friends and family involved as Writing Coaches and as College Counselors, including her mother who is volunteered as a College Counselor this past summer.

Annette unexpectedly passed away on January 24, 2008. She suffered a major brain aneurysm while waiting for the light rail.  Please visit her memorial page at http://www.annettesmemorial.org.  The site also has information on the scholarship that is being established in her honor at American University in Washington, DC.
