“I know too many students who don’t have the funds to attend college, and have few options for loans. Especially with tuition costs rising, these students need more help than ever. ScholarMatch provides another way to send dozens or hundreds more students to college at this crucial time.”

Joe Albano, college counselor, Mission High School, San Francisco

“Matching donors with students through ScholarMatch -- what a great idea! Individual donors will make it possible for these young, hard-working scholars to attend college.”

Risa Nye, college counselor and former admissions reader, UC Berkeley

“For many college aspirants, loans and grants aren’t within reach, and that is why ScholarMatch is such a wonderful new tool. All students can now invite a larger community to see that their need is clear and their commitment to education is obvious. And then college can become a reality.”

Emilie Coulson, coordinator of the 826 Valencia Scholarship Program
