About us
Uplift Education (Uplift) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates a network of 45 high-performing, tuition-free, public charter schools serving 23,000 students in under-served areas across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. We are a reform-minded organization that has attracted funding from local and national donors such as the Communities Foundation of Texas and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. Uplift's mission is to create and sustain public schools of excellence that empower students to reach their highest potential and inspire a lifelong love of learning, achievement, service, and responsible citizenship. Each school provides free college preparatory education in a community that has limited high quality public education options. Our goal is to completely CLOSE the achievement gap between students, regardless of their ethnic or socio-economic background, while ensuring that 100% of our students graduate and enroll in college. Commit to Community: Our community approach means that we actively reach out to local leaders and invite them to help us improve education in their communities by serving on our local boards and being advocates for our mission in their local neighborhoods. Commit to Change: By nurturing academic performance and civic responsibility from kindergarten through high school, we do more than expand our students’ horizons. We also change people’s perceptions of what is possible in public education.

🌟 Meet Kyonna Trieu, Uplift Williams Class of 2021 Alum! 🌟 Kyonna is currently pursuing Biomedical Engineering at UT Austin. As a Vietnamese Chinese American, she draws inspiration from her family's sacrifices and support. "This semester, I had to learn a completely new coding language and develop an app by myself in two weeks. It was overwhelming, but I never gave up. The thought of my parents and family motivated me during the long nights, and the app ended up being one of my proudest academic accomplishments thus far. Of course, none of this could have been possible without Uplift Education. Only through the Uplift Alumni program and the financial support from generous scholarship providers was I able to go to UT and focus on my studies without worrying about paying for tuition and rent. Academically, Uplift thoroughly prepared me for rigorous STEM classes and grueling essay writing, making the transition from high school to college level classes easier to manage and less intimidating." Kyonna's story highlights the importance of support systems and resilience. We're proud to celebrate her achievements during #AAPIHeritageMonth. Thanks to Uplift Education's Alumni program and generous scholarships, Kyonna can focus on her studies and future aspirations! #UpliftEducation #BiomedicalEngineering #UTAustin #STEM #HigherEducation #FamilySupport #UpliftAlumni
