About 10,000 Degrees
10,000 Degrees is the leading, equity-focused scholarship provider and college success nonprofit in California.
Our mission is to achieve educational equity and to support students from low-income backgrounds to and through college—and beyond—to realize their full potential and positively impact their communities and the world.
We support 12,000+ high school and college students annually. 100% come from low-income backgrounds, 93% are Black, Indigenous, Latine & people of color, and 92% are the first in their family to attend college.
We connect students with recently graduated, near-peer Fellows, who share lived experiences and provide deep content expertise, resources, and 1:1 support. Our strong community college program provides broad transfer support. Our wraparound support is customized to meet the needs of students, schools, and communities.
Our alumni are transforming the world as doctors, lawyers, educators, social activists, entrepreneurs, and more. Many come full circle as 10,000 Degrees Fellows, employers and internship providers, and volunteers and mentors through our Career Success program.
