Recently named a 2019 California Nonprofit of the Year, 10,000 Degrees helps students from low-income backgrounds in seven Bay Area counties get to and through college. Powered by our innovative Fellowship Program, 10,000 Degrees students receive crucial near-peer mentoring around college advising and financial aid management. Of the more than 10,000 students and family members we support annually, 100% are from low-income backgrounds, and 85% are the first in their families to attend college. As a result of our highly personalized programming, over 80% of 10,000 Degrees four-year college students earn bachelor’s degrees.
