ScholarMatch is able to serve first-generation students and create meaningful impact thanks to the generosity of our volunteer mentors and coaches. This coaching style mimics the high-cost private admissions counseling that many affluent families now utilize. With this high-impact coaching, students who continue into our Scholars Program graduate at nearly four times the rate of their underserved, first-generation peers. Our volunteers are our bloodline!”
