About Tiger Alliance

About the Program

Tiger Alliance is a college access program designed to help create pathways to college and build a college-going culture for Black, Latino and Hispanic 9th - 12th grade high school students in the Upstate of South Carolina.  Program participants benefit from access to information about college fairs and expos; a mentoring relationship with a current college student (Tiger Alliance Student Ambassadors); college-prep workshops; college tours; as well as attendance at the National Men of Color Summit sponsored by Clemson University.  By helping our young men create pathways to and, ultimately, graduate from college, we believe we are shaping our future state and national leaders.
