The College Gurl Foundation inspires underserved minorities to pursue higher education opportunities
The College Gurl Foundation inspires underserved minorities to pursue higher education opportunities.
The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) was founded by Jessica Brown in 2017 to support underserved minority students within Washington, DC by providing them their first experience with college, educational programs, scholarships, recreational programs, and mentorship opportunities that create life-changing experiences.
About The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) and college tour
Since 2017, CGF has partnered with AT&T, Dark & Lovely, DC DOES Office of Youth Program, and the Department of Parks and Recreation. As a result of the impactful work, CGF has awarded over $150,000 in scholarships, has a 100% graduation rate from high school, 90% enrollment in college, and 10% of our students have secured professional careers.
GoFundMe
The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) is raising funds for the annual college tour.
“The goal of this tour is to inspire underserved minority DMV students to pursue higher education opportunities as many of our students are the first in their families to consider college,” the GoFundMe reads.
This year, the organization aims to provide 26 students the opportunity to attend the 6 institution visit tour in the Southeast region, giving them a real-world experience of campus life and the possibilities that higher education can offer.
“We are hoping to raise $50,000 to cover for travel, lodging, activities, and food accommodations. Our students are from underserved areas within the Washington Metropolitan area. Hence, without CGF they will not have the opportunity to experience this.”
For this initiative, CGF has started a GoFundMe. If you wish to support this worthy cause, please visit the fundraiser here.

Texas educator blinded following student incident, GoFundMe started
Texas educator Candra Rogers was seriously injured by a student during a classroom altercation, making her lose her right eye. A GoFundMe has been started to help with recovery expenses.
On August 15, Texas educator Candra Rogers was seriously injured by a student during a classroom altercation, making her lose sight in her right eye. A GoFundMe has been started to help with recovery expenses.
“This is an arduous situation and will take time. Please continue to pray for me, my family, my school, and my district, even the child who caused this incident and his family,” the fundraiser reads.
TX Educator Loses Sight in Right Eye
Rogers, an assistant principal at at Collins Intermediate School, was responding to a call for assistance from a behavioral teacher when she found one student who had reportedly been assaulted by a classmate outside the classroom with the teacher and other students.
Upon entering the classroom, Rogers encountered an “irate” student in a “ransacked” room. Despite her attempts to de-escalate the situation, the student threw multiple chairs and ultimately a wooden hanger. The hanger struck Rogers in the right eye and knocked it out of its socket, causing Rogers to be airlifted to a Dallas hospital for emergency surgery. School officials released the student into the custody of his parents and have prohibited him from returning to campus.
“I grabbed my face while blood was pouring out of my head and stumbled out of the classroom door,” Rogers recounted in a press conference. Doctors were able to reinsert her eye, but they believe the damage is permanent, and Rogers may ultimately lose the eye entirely.
“I will have to have an additional surgery to repair my eyelid, and because doctors are believing my blindness to be permanent, removing my eye may have to be an option,” Rogers said. “I still believe in God for a miracle for restoration of my sight.”
Rogers has been surrounded by her loving husband and children as they help her during this difficult, trying recovery process.
To donate towards Rogers recovery, visit the GoFundMe page here.
