Ep 1.19 Scholar Match
from 52 Reasons Podcast Hosted by 52 Reasons
In this week's episode, we chat with Diana and Piper from Scholar Match. Founded in 2010 by author, Dave Eggers, the Scholar Match model champions low-income and first-generation students in the three critical areas: navigating the college admissions process, paying for school, and creating a support system in college. ScholarMatch is the only major nonprofit that combines a crowdfunded scholarship platform with game-changing college access and career support for low-income youth. Their typical student comes from a family earning less than $25,000 per year and attends a high school with just one counselor per 500-800 students.
