$3,000 Goal

Right now, being an immigrant in this country is harder than it's been in a long time, but at New America College, we see students show up every day to make their life in American better by learning English in an intensive environment.

Adults from all over the world walk through our doors looking for more than English. They’re immigrants, refugees, international students. They're looking for a way to feel steady again. A way to advocate for their kids. A way to keep their job, or get a better one. A way to belong.

We've been doing this work since 2007, and we've kept our tuition as low as we possibly can. Right now it's $412 for 72 hours of class for local students, or about $5.72 an hour. But that price doesn't come close to covering what it actually takes to teach well: good instructors, real support, a place where people feel welcome. We don't get government grants, and students can't take out federal loans for classes like ours. So we depend on people who care about this as much as we do.

And while our tuition is low, it’s still hard for some people to afford it. Many of our students work full-time and still make time for 18 hours of in-person classes a week. We never want somebody to have to decide between rent or English classes, so we’re raising money for our scholarship fund.

Here's what your gift makes possible:

  • $6 funds about 1 hour of class time
  • $25 funds about 4 hours of class time
  • $50 funds about 9 hours of class time
  • $100 funds about 17 hours of class time
  • $250 funds about 44 hours of class time
  • $412 covers one full month of tuition for a student
  • $500 funds about 87 hours of class time

Your gift doesn't just pay for a class. It helps a mom talk to her child's teacher without needing someone else to translate. It helps someone walk into a job interview and speak up for themselves. It helps a family feel a little less alone in a country that can feel confusing and unwelcoming right now.

Give today, and help us keep the door open for anyone who walks through it looking for a way forward.
