Lamp of Learning Lamp of Learning, Inc. 750 B St Suite #3400, San Diego, CA 92101

Lamp of Learning, a 501(c)3, is dedicated to providing education scholarships to high performing San Diego high school seniors entering 4-year universities but lack financial resources. Starting as a philanthropic committee at the University Club atop Symphony Towers, the Lamp of Learning is now a full and independent 501(c)3. Since its inception in 2004, the University Club has raised more than $

175,000 and funded education for more than fifty students. The annual scholarship is open to qualified high school students throughout San Diego County that participate in the internationally acclaimed AVID Learning Program. AVID (Achievement via Individual Determination) students are often the first in their family to attend college and often underrepresented in higher education. The Lamp of Learning raises money and facilitates the interview process of these scholars to support achieving their full potential.

"95% of Lamp scholars graduate college.
70%+ are the first in their families to attend.

Behind every number is a student working hard to overcome barriers and build a future filled with possibility.

Lamp of Learning exists to ensure students are not limited by access, resources, or circumstance.

Thank you to the mentors, donors, educators, and community partners helping us invest in the next generation."
