A little support goes a long way!
Your support of CDI is invaluable to ensuring our Scholars, America’s future leaders, continue to have the resources they need to flourish and achieve what’s possible! Your financial support of CDI will have an impact on the more than 8,200 students we serve annually as they reach their goals.
At CDI support is infused into everything we do and is the common thread that allows us to produce remarkable results. Scholars and their families are supported by CDI which is supported by generous individual donors and forward-thinking organizations whose support has allowed for the expansion of our core offerings beyond the classroom.
Your gift provides support with everything from personalized mentoring to assistance with the often overwhelming fees associated with college attendance. The generosity of our donors is changing the lives of these students, giving them chances for the future that will have a positive impact within their families and communities.

“All of my college accomplishments have really ingrained how important an organization like CDI is for students who know nothing about the college application process and who can’t afford college.
Without CDI, all of these doors that are open to me now would have not been there at all.”
