Bright Futures Changes Lives!

The PCEF Bright Futures is a comprehensive, multi-year program that equips first-generation students with the full spectrum of “college knowledge” so they can get to - and through! - post-secondary education. 

We make a long-term commitment to walk alongside PCHS first-gen students, providing a college-readiness curriculum, individualized coaching, peer support and financial assistance from 9th grade through post-secondary graduation.

Your donations directly fund: 

• A full-time BF Counselor in PCHS (NEW for 2025-26!)
• A full-time College Program Manager
• Academic & college readiness programs + support for every first-gen student. 
• One-on-one coaching, support, & earned scholarships throughout post-secondary education.
• Emergency support for students who face unexpected financial hardship.

Critical Numbers: 

• Bright Futures Park City launched in 2016, after a two-year research period conducted by PCEF.  2025/26 marks the 10th year for the program.
  • NEW! Supporting over 200 students at PCHS, up from 75 in previous years
  • Over 60 Park City students enrolled in college 
  • As of fall 2025, there are 24 Bright Futures college graduates! 

Give to Those Destined to Give Back
