Our Programs
Four pillars. One mission. Concrete Roses Foundation meets students where they are — and walks alongside them toward where they're going.

Financial barriers should never be the reason a student's potential goes unrealized. The Concrete Roses Foundation Scholarship Program provides direct financial support to High School Seniors and College Students who are working hard, dreaming big, and facing real obstacles to continuing their education.
Our scholarships are designed to recognize not just academic achievement, but character, resilience, and potential. We believe in investing in the whole student — the one who juggled a job and a full course load, the one who showed up for their family and their grades, the one who never gave up even when every reason to was right in front of them.
High School Seniors preparing for post-secondary education, and current College Students enrolled in accredited institutions who demonstrate financial need and/or academic merit.
Academic achievement, community involvement, demonstrated resilience, financial need, and alignment with our MIRACLE values. We look at the full picture of a student's story.
Applications open annually. Students submit an essay, academic records, and two letters of recommendation. Contact us to be notified when the next application cycle opens.
Donors and organizations can contribute directly to the scholarship fund. As a 501(c)(3), all contributions are tax-deductible and go entirely to student awards.
Knowledge is more than what's in a textbook. The Concrete Roses Mentorship Program connects students with experienced mentors who have navigated the roads students are now walking — and can offer real guidance, real stories, and real support.
Our mentorship is holistic by design. We focus on life skills — financial literacy, communication, time management, emotional intelligence, and leadership — alongside the personal encouragement that every young person needs to believe in their own potential.
Mentors are carefully matched with students based on background, interests, and goals. Relationships are built over time, with both structured sessions and organic check-ins that allow genuine connection to grow.
Financial literacy, personal budgeting, communication and conflict resolution, goal-setting, emotional intelligence, and professional presentation.
We thoughtfully pair students with mentors based on shared background, career interest, or lived experience — so the connection feels genuine, not transactional.
Mentors commit to regular sessions over a defined period, with flexibility built in. Our team supports every mentoring relationship to ensure it thrives.
Professionals, community leaders, educators, and anyone with experience and a heart for young people. We welcome all backgrounds and all stories.
The path from high school to a fulfilling career is rarely a straight line — and for many of our students, it's a path with no map. Concrete Roses Foundation's Academic & Career Guidance program provides the map.
From SAT/ACT prep and college application support to career pathway planning and job readiness workshops, our guidance programming is designed to demystify the systems that can feel impossible to navigate alone.
We work with students to identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and build concrete action plans — whether they're heading to a four-year university, a trade school, a community college, or directly into the workforce.
Application essays, financial aid guidance, FAFSA support, college selection strategy, and scholarship search assistance for students entering post-secondary education.
Interest and strengths assessments, industry exploration, informational interview facilitation, and internship and job placement support.
Resume writing workshops, professional email and communication coaching, mock interviews, and workplace expectations guidance for first-time job seekers.
Tutoring referrals, study skills coaching, and academic progress monitoring for students who need additional support to stay on track.
Academic success and personal success are inseparable. A student who is struggling emotionally, mentally, or at home cannot simply set those realities aside and perform. Concrete Roses Foundation takes a whole-person approach — because we know that no student thrives without the right support for their wellbeing.
We provide access to mental health resources, facilitate wellness workshops, and connect students to licensed professionals and community-based services. We also recognize that no single organization can do this work at scale alone — which is why strategic partnerships are a cornerstone of our model.
Concrete Roses Foundation actively partners with aligned nonprofits to extend our reach, share resources, and ensure our students can access the full ecosystem of support they deserve.
Access to licensed mental health professionals, crisis referral services, and wellness programming designed specifically for young people navigating high-pressure environments.
Stress management, coping strategies, mindfulness practices, and community-building events that create a culture of emotional safety and psychological wellbeing.
We actively collaborate with other mission-aligned organizations to build a resource ecosystem our students can access — extending well beyond what any single org can provide.
If your organization shares our commitment to student wellbeing and community support, we want to talk. Partnerships are how we grow our impact exponentially.
Concrete Roses Foundation is building the infrastructure to make student success accessible — not as an exception, but as the standard.
