Gladys Fajardo's Company Details
The San Francisco North Bay's leading college success nonprofit, 10,000 Degrees helps students from low-income backgrounds get to and through college. 100% of 10,000 Degrees students come from low-income backgrounds and most are first in their family to go to college. 10,000 Degrees believes all students can succeed in college and beyond, so there is no GPA requirement to apply. Thanks to comprehensive personal support, academic counseling, and financial aid management, over 80% of 10,000 Degrees 4-year college students earn bachelor's degrees, compared to 31% nationally and take on 80% less student loan debt. As vital members of local communities, 10,000 Degrees college alumni are more likely to vote, more likely to volunteer, and earn over $1 million more in their lifetimes.
