Founded in 2010 by award-winning author Dave Eggers, ScholarMatch began as a San Francisco-based crowdfunding platform for scholarships and has since evolved into a full-service college access and persistence organization. At ScholarMatch, we are committed to supporting first-generation college students from low-income backgrounds earn a bachelor’s degree within five years. 

We’re working towards realizing our vision, where all students have access to higher education, support to persist to graduation, and opportunities to succeed in fulfilling careers. Today, we serve more than 1,000 students per year, have awarded over $5,000,000 in last-dollar scholarships, and engaged hundreds of community supporters.
