What is A Better Chance (ABC)?

Edina ABC is a non-profit organization providing a quality education to academically talented students of color from families of modest means.Opening the doors to greater educational opportunities since 1963.

A Better Chance is the oldest and only national organization of its kind changing the life trajectory for academically talented youth of color via access to rigorous and prestigious educational opportunities for students in grades 6-12.  Our mission is to increase substantially the number of well-educated young people of color who are capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.  We carry out our mission through our signature College Preparatory Schools Program, which annually recruits, refers and supports about 500 Scholars at more than 300 Member Schools in 27 states.  We have been opening the doors to greater educational opportunities since 1963 and more than 12,000 Alumni have now gone on to distinguished careers as physicians, artists, educators, lawyers, politicians and corporate executives.

“I believe in A Better Chance because I believe that for
millions of children of color …
A Better Chance will offer an opportunity that
no other organization could.”
