Opportunity Rising

What happens when students are working toward the same goal but have different resources and support along the way?

For many DHA families, factors like income, access to academic support, exposure to college and career options, and enrichment opportunities can shape the pathways available to students. These differences in circumstance do not define a student’s potential.

That’s why DHA and Opportunity Rising focus on connecting students with the resources and experiences that can support their goals.

Through scholarships, internships, mentorship, and educational opportunities, we help students build confidence, explore possibilities, and prepare for long-term success.

We believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their goals and build a future they’re proud of.

Summer break presents the perfect opportunity for students to invest time into skills and experiences that will help shape the next step in their journey.

Whether it’s visiting a college campus, reading more often, participating in an internship, or preparing for the next school year, staying engaged during summer break can help them get ahead on their goals.

At Opportunity Rising, we encourage scholars to use the summer to explore new opportunities, strengthen their interests, and invest in their future.

Learning doesn’t stop when school ends, and neither does opportunity.

Opportunity Rising believes that education is a key to ending poverty and that everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue a higher education and lifelong learning.

Among the more than 53,500 individuals DHA supports, over half are children under the age of 18, representing the next generation of leaders, professionals, and changemakers across North Texas. We want them to know that education has the ability to change the trajectory of their lives.

It is our opportunity to help North Texas families move up in the world by supporting younger generations through education, exposure, and advancement.

By providing scholarships and access to educational opportunities, we are investing not only in students but in the future of families and communities across North Texas.

Happy National Higher Education Day!
