Christine Sylvain

Christine Sylvain is the Founder and CEO of Path to College, whose vision is to create a world where genius, leadership, and excellence are cultivated in the most overlooked communities. They do this through a strategic approach to helping as many low-income students as possible secure their acceptance to top-tier universities with full-ride scholarships.
Christine believes deeply that the best of these communities often fall through the cracks and her mandate is to answer and address one of society’s most urgent educational inequities: access to higher education.
Christine has a Master of Arts in Journalism from New York University and a Bachelor of Arts cum laude in Political Science from the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College at Florida Atlantic University. She began her career as an associate producer of documentaries for broadcasters such as PBS and HBO. Christine realized her passion for educating and mentoring adolescents through her experience running the Journalism Department at a charter high school in Riviera Beach, Florida. Since then, Christine has been on the front lines of guiding and encouraging bright, under-resourced students to apply to selective universities. Most importantly, she has a deep understanding of some of the systemic challenges holding our best and brightest back from achieving the highest levels of their academic potential. Path to College is the way beyond these obstacles for the most overlooked and most hardworking students.
