Founded in 2010 by author Dave Eggers, ScholarMatch began as a crowdfunding platform for college scholarships, and has now grown into a full-service college access organization that supports low-income and first-generation students through every point of their college journeys. We serve students at our San Francisco and Los Angeles College Centers and nationwide through our Virtual Destination College program, and the ScholarMatcher—a groundbreaking college search tool optimized for the needs of low-income students. From local website to nationally reaching nonprofit, today ScholarMatch is a nimble, data-driven organization that is constantly refining programs based on what works for the 2,000+ students served annually. Our services are free for students and available for contract by community-based organizations, corporations, and foundations.
