Staff from the Level Playing Field Institute recently came to the ScholarMatch office to visit with local families about the Summer Math and Science Honors Academy, or SMASH, a program held at Stanford University and at the University of California, Berkeley.
High school seniors! Now that your college applications are complete, do you need help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid? We're holding hours for FAFSA help on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 5:30PM, starting Thursday, January 12th, and running through Thursday, March 1st. We're offering this free service for students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch, and who currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area counties.
Over three nights in December, we held celebrations for the 40 new ScholarMatch students who will be fundraising for the 2012-2013 academic year. We are so excited to work with this amazing group. They have overcome countless struggles, come from a variety of backgrounds, and bring a rich mix of talents. There's aspiring doctors, actors, and even nonprofit workers!
If you're in San Francisco on December 9th, please join us at The Summit for Neighborhood Folk, our community music night.
We'll have local singer-songwriter Miya Dunets; indie rockers Pirate Radio; the incredible Mike Sempert, of Birds & Batteries; and a DJ to finish off the night. The Summit is located at 780 Valencia Street, and doors open at 9PM. There's a suggested donation of $10, and proceeds will go to support ScholarMatch. We hope to see you there!
