San Francisco Achievers Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by San Francisco Achievers
SFA’s Scholar Program advances our Culture of Continuation strategy. Statistically, the likelihood that African American young men will attend and graduate from college are among the lowest rates in the city—and that is our concern. We know that only 23.7% of African American men have a bachelor’s degree or higher; comparatively, 59.3% of white men and 53.4% of Asian men have a bachelor’s degree or higher—a difference of 35.6 and 29.7 percentage points respectively.
By providing African-American graduating seniors the opportunity to secure a four-year scholarship, SFA works to combat these staggering statistics. However, our scholarships alone, are not enough to support a cost of college; and so, we also research available scholarship opportunities to ensure our Scholars reduce or eliminate their postsecondary debt burden.
The San Francisco Achievers Scholars Program aims to reduce the academic, social and financial hurdles that have worked to keep African-American young men from getting to and through college.
