Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos support homeless students amid pandemic with laptops, scholarships

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are helping students succeed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Win — New York City's largest provider of shelter and supportive housing to women and their children — announced in a press release that, thanks to a donation from the famous couple, it will be able to provide funds to support 20 homeless college students.

According to the release, the students will receive laptops and nearly $2,000 each from the new Win Scholarship Fund, which was established with Ripa and Consuelos' donation.

“Mark and I are so excited to help these students in whatever small way we can," Ripa said in a statement provided to USA TODAY. "Starting college is a pivotal moment for so many and being a part of this time is really special for our family. We know each of these scholarship recipients has a bright future ahead and we can’t wait to see what amazing things they accomplish!"

According to the release, 60% of graduating high school seniors at Win are starting this fall at colleges around the country, including Syracuse University, Clark Atlanta University and Portland State University.

The release mentions that Ripa and Consuelos also gave $500,000 to Win this spring for iPads, laptops and headphones to help students with remote learning, in addition to the money they designated for the scholarship fund.

"Thanks to their generous donation, these students no longer have to worry about buying books or paying for a ride home, and can focus on what’s the most important: succeeding in their studies," Win's CEO and president Christine Quinn said in a statement.
