Review for 10,000 Degrees, San Rafael, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have supported this non profit for about 10 years now. They are incredibly efficient and smart about how they support first generation college students to become interested in college, take the right high school classes to get put themselves in a position to apply to colleges and get into those colleges, help them navigate the scholarship and student loan minefield, and then, most importantly, to stay in college and graduate. They place their "ambassadors" in high schools and colleges and provide amazing support at every step. Their success rate in terms of percentage of students actually graduating from college once they get in, is in the 80% plus range, astronomically higher than the other non profits in this similar space. This organization has a noble mission, and follows through on reaching the goals of its mission year after year. I am proud to have supported 10000 Degrees for all these years.
