What kind of impact does Helios Education Foundation hope to have in education?
As a foundation designed to exist in perpetuity, Helios Education Foundation intends to have a lasting, positive impact on individual lives and the two states we serve. Our focus on creating opportunities for individuals in Arizona and Florida to succeed in postsecondary education is grounded in our belief that education changes lives and strengthens communities. Through strategic partnerships and the investment of our financial, human and intellectual resources in the areas of Early Childhood Education, the Transition Years (Grades 5 -12) and Postsecondary Scholarships, Helios seeks to increase the number of children, ages birth to five, entering school ready to learn and succeed; help more youth stay in school, transition through the various stages of education and graduate academically prepared for postsecondary education; and remove barriers, increase access and support more individuals to successfully complete a postsecondary program.
