How We Impact the Community
We help Napa Valley students from low-income backgrounds realize their college dreams and positively impact their communities and the world. Last year we helped 1,600 Napa Valley students get to, and through, college with needs-based, renewable scholarships, and personalized support.
We’re equity-focused, student-centered, and strength-based: we believe in the great potential of all students and require no GPA or test score to participate. Undocumented students are welcome. Our near-peer Fellows share similar backgrounds with our students and provide both on-campus and virtual support.
We also help Napa Valley College students transfer to, and succeed at, 4-year universities. Our community college students transfer at 3x the national average. Our support continues beyond baccalaureate attainment to helping with career and graduate school readiness. 100% of students come from low-income backgrounds, 92% are students of color, 93% are first gen. Over 80% graduate with a bachelor’s degree and with 87% less debt than their peers!
Testimonial
The 10,000 Degrees program has been like a second family for me, always checking in on students, cheering us on, and being there for students when they need help. I am grateful for everything every staff has done and for what this program is able to do.
