Talent isn't the barrier for the students who find Mo-saiQ. Navigation is.
Every year, brilliant students walk into STEM and entrepreneurship spaces that were never built with them in mind and get evaluated against rules no one hands them. Mo-saiQ exists to change that: not by asking students to shrink to fit, but by decoding the hidden rules of competitive academic and innovation spaces and turning them into a roadmap students can navigate with their full identity intact.
2025-26 Program year, demand outpaced what we could hold. 185 students applied for 50 seats in our cohort, from 19 states. The Rising Innovators Fund exists to close that gap — not by turning students away, but by building the infrastructure to say yes to more of them.
What your gift funds
Scholar Empowerment Program access. Your gift expands our 9-month cohort experience — personalized academic advising, identity and leadership development, and Calculus readiness and college-prep supports, engineered to help scholars persist and lead in selective STEM and entrepreneurship pathways, not just get in the door.
Financial aid, so ability to pay is never the gate. Every seat we sponsor is a student whose brilliance gets to matter more than their zip code.
The Scholar Navigator. This is the next chapter, and it's the piece that makes Mo-saiQ's model scale without diluting it. Think of it as a GPS for a scholar's STEM and entrepreneurship journey — a personalized, AI-enabled roadmap that connects students to mentors, opportunities, and next steps long after the program ends, codifying what already works in our flagship program so more students can access it, earlier. Built in partnership with the schools and youth-serving nonprofits already doing this work on the ground, the Navigator extends what one counselor or one program can hold, instead of asking already-stretched systems to do more with less.
Our goal: 50,000 young innovators by 2035 — not by growing headcount alone, but by building the tools and partnerships that let navigation reach every student who needs it, at the moment they need it.
Why now
Mo-saiQ isn't a tutoring program or a college-access checklist. It's infrastructure for a future where identity is a strength students navigate with, not a barrier they navigate around. Every gift to the Rising Innovators Fund is capital toward proof proof that when you give brilliant students the navigation systems the world withheld, they don't just arrive. They lead.
Give today. Fund the roadmap. Back the scholars who are already showing you the demand is real.
