Our Mission

Berkeley Community Scholars bridges the opportunity divide for Berkeley youth from lower-income families by providing scholarships, connections, and other support instrumental to success in college and beyond.

Who We Are

We were founded in 1991 as the Berkeley Community Fund, supporting a variety of projects that strengthened our community while championing the common good. In 2008 we determined we could make a greater impact by bringing higher education within reach of Berkeley High graduates from low-income families. It takes more than courage to be the first in your family to attend college. It takes resources and support these students and their families often don’t have. We bridge the gap. We’re Berkeley Community Scholars.
