About TEAK
The TEAK Fellowship is a NYC-based nonprofit organization that opens doors to educational and enrichment opportunities for exceptional high-achieving, low-income students. The free 10-year program of strong educational, social, emotional and financial resource support for students and families begins in 6th grade and empowers students to access the most competitive high schools and colleges in the US. On average, over 30% of TEAK Fellows gain acceptance to Ivy League schools each year. TEAK is built on the premise that motivation and potential and not economic circumstances should determine a student’s future.
