Rochelle Park, NJ (February 2, 2026) – UPLIFT Academy is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Eisai USA Foundation to support its College Path Mentorship (CPM) program and Summer Math Camps. This generous funding will strengthen year-round academic support and college readiness services for underserved students across Northern New Jersey.

The College Path Mentorship (CPM) program provides free, structured mentorship and academic guidance to high school students, helping them strengthen academic performance, prepare for SAT/ACT exams, and successfully transition into four-year colleges.

Through this grant, UPLIFT Academy will expand instructional resources, support mentor training, enhance student engagement, and ensure continued access to high-quality academic programming at no cost to participating families.

“We are deeply grateful to the Eisai USA Foundation for their continued investment in our students,” said Levent Koch, Chief Executive Officer of UPLIFT Academy. “This support allows us to provide consistent, year-round academic mentorship and summer enrichment opportunities that strengthen both confidence and college readiness for the students we serve.”
