Evolve502 is grateful for the support of Metro Government and Metro Council in making access to college easier for students and families in Louisville. We are closing in on meeting the $3 million match from the FY2023 Metro budget and hope to cross the finish line this spring. To date we’ve raised more than $25 million toward our $50 million goal to offer a generation of students a tuition-free postsecondary education.
We wanted to send you a quick update/progress report on Evolve502’s effort to enroll JCPS graduates in a two-year tuition-free postsecondary education opportunity. In the first three years Evolve502 enrolled more than 1,500 JCPS graduates in college at Jefferson or Simmons College of Kentucky; 21 of those students live in district 9 and 5 of those are from the class of 2023. Creating access to postsecondary education and strengthening the workforce are critical to our community’s future success and Evolve502 is working with students, families and partners every day.
If you know a family with a student graduating from a JCPS high school in 2024 encourage them to apply. Students and families interested in exploring their next steps toward a postsecondary credential, certificate or degree can receive resources and support from Evolve502. More than 1,300 students from the class of 2024 have applied already.
