10,000 Degrees Scholarships

10,000 Degrees provides scholarships to students with financial need and who exhibit a strong desire to go to college and accomplish their educational goals. Our scholarship recipients are often the first in their family to attend and graduate college! We award scholarships primarily to students in the regions we serve in the Bay Area, California. Students who submit the 10,000 Degrees Scholarships application automatically apply to ALL available scholarships we currently administer, based on eligibility. Support for students awarded a 10,000 Degrees scholarship doesn’t end with a check! 10,000 Degrees scholarship recipients may receive support from our trained Fellows, who provide ongoing mentorship both on campus and off during the entire college journey. After graduation, our Career and Alumni Success Team provides career mentorship, guidance, internship opportunities, networking events, and more.
