College Graduates who Change the World
About us
10,000 Degrees is the leading, equity-focused scholarship provider and college success nonprofit in California. Our mission is to achieve educational equity and to support students from low-income backgrounds to and through college—and beyond—to realize their full potential and positively impact their communities and the world. We support 12,000 high school and college students annually. 100% come from low-income backgrounds, 93% are Black, Indigenous, Latine & people of color, and 92% are the first in their family to attend college. We connect students with recently graduated, near-peer Fellows, who share lived experiences and provide deep content expertise, resources, and 1:1 support. Our strong community college program provides broad transfer support. Our wraparound support is customized to meet the needs of students, schools, and communities. Our alumni are transforming the world as doctors, lawyers, educators, social activists, entrepreneurs, and more. Many come full circle as 10,000 Degrees Fellows, employers and internship providers, and volunteers and mentors through our Career Success program.

Such an incredible video! We are so honored and grateful to Oscar Loyola for sharing his story! Thank you FORWARD storystudio for creating this beautiful video of impact and for supporting our mission!
Earlier this year, we produced the story of Oscar Loyola, a young man who went from feeling trapped to feeling like he has a “limitless future”, thanks to the amazing support of 10,000 Degrees. His story helped to raise over $1.1M at their One Amazing Community Gala, which will go towards continuing to achieve educational equity across the Bay Area. Thank you Kim Mazzuca, Caroline Silverstein, and Alaina Baum for inviting us into this meaningful project and for your tireless work! Let FORWARD storystudio help multiply your organization's impact through its amazing stories of transformation!
