The Phoenix Scholars

The Phoenix Scholars Talent & intelligence are universal; resources & opportunities are not. TPS equips students with the necessary skills to aid them in applying to college.

Founded in 2009, The Phoenix Scholars is a student-run, Stanford-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which provides pro bono college counseling services to low income, first generation, and minority high school seniors in the state of California. The program pairs these seniors (scholars) with Stanford and Berkeley undergraduate mentors, who help them apply to college, prepare for standardized

tests, and obtain financial aid and scholarships. Ultimately, The Phoenix Scholars believes that though talent and intelligence are universal, opportunities and resources are not. As such, TPS is a source of such counseling opportunities and resources in a state where the student to counselor ratio is 945:1 according to the California Department of Education. Overall, the program has had major success. TPS has worked with over 450 undergraduate mentors, sent 500 scholars to four-year institutions (with 26% of the group attending select colleges and universities), and established a host of professional connections with other philanthropic organizations, including the Silicon Community Valley Foundation, one of the nation’s largest private foundations with over $6.5 billion in assets under management.
