While most new students entering the doors of the Fox School of Business this fall will be first-year college students, some will be high school upperclassmen from the neighborhoods just within reach of Temple University’s Main Campus.
They are here to positively impact their future, thanks to a special partnership.
This 2025-26 academic year, the Fox School’s B4USoar program and Freire Schools will collaborate for the seventh year of their partnership in helping shape the educational opportunities and futures for Philadelphia’s youth.
The B4USoar program offers select under-resourced and academically strong students from within both district and charter public high schools in Philadelphia the opportunity to attend classes alongside current students at Temple for applicable college credits at no cost. Although the programming has gained many partners since its first launch in 2019, Freire Schools has been supporting the initiative since its inception through selecting students from their schools to participate in the program each year.
