Project One is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to expanding college education to students of lower-income, single-parent families in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our scholarships help students to attend a public college or university that their families could not otherwise afford. We provide a four-year commitment to helping students start down the path of success. Project One is more than a scholarship fund. It is our goal to provide students with a solid foundation that includes a college education, financial literacy, and an understanding of each student’s gifts and talents as they begin to make their own mark in the world. Students have support throughout the course of their programs and scholarships from a Project One Mentor.
