Support Our Mission Putting students at the center of a college search was not a conventional idea when Loren Pope wrote Colleges That Change Lives. But his groundbreaking philosophy was embraced by students and college counselors alike. The CTCL organization continues to advance a student-first philosophy, and the Colleges That Change Lives Scholarship Fund helps to ensure that even more students have access to a life-changing college experience. Donate today to honor Loren Pope’s wisdom and to celebrate the ongoing work of CTCL in carrying forth his vision.
