Breakthrough Houston supports highly motivated students, walking alongside them for 10 years–to and through college completion.
Our remarkable scholars succeed because of the powerful impact of mentorship, academic guidance, and a strong support network.
Academic enrichment and project-based learning for middle school students
“Without Breakthrough Houston, I would’ve been lost in the college process. Their workshops, college visits, test prep, and incredible program managers helped me understand college fit, find my voice, and believe in my future. I’m excited for what’s ahead—and grateful for the support that got me here.”

“Breakthrough Houston has been with me since middle school—and they’re still by my side as I work toward becoming a dermatologist. Their guidance, test prep, financial aid support, and even emergency assistance helped me enter college confident and prepared. As a first-gen student and child of immigrants, I’m building the future I once only imagined.”
