ScholarMatch:

ScholarMatch makes college possible for underserved youth, from application all the way through college graduation.

Our Mission:

ScholarMatch’s mission is to support underserved first-generation college students from low-income backgrounds to earn a bachelor’s degree within five years. We provide virtual individualized advising, targeted financial support, and career mentoring all the way to graduation.

Our Story:

Founded in 2010 by author Dave Eggers, ScholarMatch began as a San Francisco-based crowdfunding platform for scholarships and has since evolved into a full-service college access and persistence organization, delivering hands-on support for first-generation college students. In 2015, we launched the ScholarMatcher, a groundbreaking college list-building tool optimized for the needs of first-generation college students from low-income backgrounds, and began to offer virtual college advising services to high school students outside of the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2016, we expanded our college services to serve students in Los Angeles and launched our first virtual advising program for college students.

Today, ScholarMatch is a nimble organization that engages 500+ volunteers per year to serve over 1,000 students nationwide at every point of the college journey.
