Dan Hooper is the Founder & Executive Director at ScholarShot. ScholarShot was founded in 2009 by concerned business professionals, educators and community volunteers who saw numerous well-meaning college advisement and “access” programs failing at-risk students. In Texas, 9 out of 10 of these students who get into college drop out. ScholarShot has developed a proven model of academic navigation, personal guidance and financial support that reverses this outcome with 90% of our Scholars succeeding in earning life-changing vocational, associate or undergraduate degrees. Leveraging the success of the ScholarShot model, our Degree Dallas Campaign is on track to produce 500 first generation college degrees from Dallas County.
Nathalie Flores graduated from North Dallas High School in 2019. She attended Eastfield College where she graduated with an Associates of Science degree in May of 2021 as a first-generation college graduate. She is currently attending UNT Dallas and majoring in Human Resources. Nathalie completed an Internship with Charles Schwab during the Summer of 2021 and is a Scholar Ambassador for ScholarShot.
