Our Movement: : US Empowered is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to providing urban students with the resources, support, and network to make higher education a reality. We enact this mission by providing fellowships to highly motivated students in the lowest income schools in urban America. To date, every single student who has been accepted into our program has enrolled in a four-year university and is on target to graduate.

Sponsor-A-Runner: : Each runner who joins our effort will be raising money for a specific US Empowered student. Every runner is then paired up with a team of five when they join the cause and each team will raise enough money to cover the costs entirely of a four-year fellowship. To find a specific runner, click the Select Fundraiser link above our logo and scroll down until you find the appropriate person. Thank you for your generous contributions!
