Dylan Wingfield
Dylan graduated from Binghamton University with a degree in Mathematics and Financial Economics. While navigating the college application process as an international student from South Africa, he found the entire experience overwhelming and complex.

Driven by knowing the importance of education, and hard work, Dylan decided to create a nonprofit focused on helping under-resourced students navigate the college application process. His goal is simple: to empower students to access higher education and achieve their dreams, helping them succeed through mentorship, workshops, and the tools they need. Through his work, Dylan hopes to make the college journey more accessible and less intimidating for those who need it the most.
