Shoes For Scholars

Our mission is to empower financially underserved middle school students, grades 6-8, to excel academically and build confidence in their abilities through our innovative incentive programs. By partnering with Nevada schools, we inspire students to improve their standardized test performance, fostering a culture of achievement and resilience to achieve the best outcomes for academic success.

MAP is used to measure a student’s progress and growth in school, and is performed three times a year. To stay on track, students are given INDIVIDUAL learning targets known as RIT scores. Students are rewarded with a brand new pair of shoes when they reach their target RIT scores.
