Jacks on Track
Help students get back on track to finishing their degrees.

Jacks on Track empowers stop-out students to return and achieve their bachelor’s degrees. By offering financial support to upper-division undergraduate students, we help ease the costs of tuition and fees, enabling them to stay focused on their path to graduation. With students at the center of our mission, we provide an individualized experience that supports their academic success every step of the way.

Success coaches assist students in several key areas, including:

  • Enrollment processes, such as readmission, reinstatement, and petitions
  • Pre-advising and academic tracking
  • Financial aid assistance, including FAFSA and SAP appeals
  • Accessing tutoring services
  • Connecting with campus resources
  • Providing ongoing coaching and support

Your generous gift to Jacks on Track directly impacts students by providing support for graduation applications, course materials, tuition, and unexpected emergencies. Thank you for removing barriers that might otherwise derail students from earning their degrees.

With heartfelt appreciation,

The Jacks on Track team
