🎓 Meet the 2026 Successbuilders Scholars!

This year, R CITY is investing in nine incredible young women pursuing dreams in nursing, biology, social work, political science, construction management, architecture, early childhood development, graphic design, and English.

These students have grown up in R CITY’s programs, and we’re honored to keep walking alongside them as they take their next steps toward college, careers, and vocational training.

Since 2018, the Successbuilders Scholarship Fund has awarded more than $110,000 to 34 students, helping make sure financial barriers don’t stand between young people and their dreams.

Now, we’re working to raise $15,000–$20,000 each year so more R CITY students can keep moving forward.

💙 You can be the reason a student gets to keep going.
