About Luminous Ray

Luminous Ray is an education 501(c)(3) nonprofit empowering students from underserved communities, including: first-generation, immigrant, low-income, and working-class backgrounds.

We believe:

  • Education is a Right: Education is not a privilege reserved for a few, but a pathway that should be accessible to all.
  • Collective Advancement: When one student rises, communities rise. When communities rise, society strengthens.
  • One Student Can Illuminate Many Lives: The impact of education extends beyond the individual: into families, neighborhoods, and future generations.
