SUPPORT TO AND THROUGH COLLEGE
If you are awarded a scholarship at 10,000 Degrees, our support does not end with you receiving a scholarship check! All 10,000 Degrees scholarship recipients receive one-to-one support from our trained Fellows who provide you with ongoing mentorship both on campus and off during your entire college journey, whether you begin at a community college or four-year institution. After you graduate, you will also have access to our Career and Alumni Success services, and will be invited to stay connected to 10,000 Degrees through our Alumni LinkedIn group and Young Professionals and Alumni Council networking group.
Please note, some scholarships require supplemental materials, so read all directions carefully. For further clarification, read our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
**Beware of scams! You should never have to pay to apply for a scholarship or receive support. 10,000 Degrees will never charge you a fee.
