SEO Scholars - San Francisco College Admissions VISTA

SEO Scholars is a free eight-year academic program that gets motivated, low-income public high school students to and through college with a rigorous out-of-school supplemental academic curriculum, college guidance and the leadership development necessary to gain admission to, and succeed at, competitive colleges and universities. At SEO Scholars we have a proven track record of success: 90% of our Scholars graduate from college. The impact of a college degree is well-documented. College graduates are estimated to out-earn their peers by more than $1 million over the course of a lifetime, thus breaking the cycle of poverty within their families. Over the next 3 years, we aim to substantially increase the proportion of students accepted into selective 4-year colleges. The Program team VISTA will enhance the effectiveness of our college admissions programming by improving our systems for student advising from 9th through 12th grade and the college admissions process in the 12th grade. Improved college advising beginning in the 9th grade will allow students and families to make smarter, more informed, and targeted choices about college admissions and supplemental programming. In addition to your application, please send a resume and cover letter to mherrera@seo-usa.org.
