SCS Noonan Scholars

Thrive Scholars' goal is to see talented low-income students of color develop the inter-generational wealth and financial security their more privileged peers take for granted, and become the diverse corporate, civic and academic leaders our country needs. The organization provides high-achieving, low-income students with the financial, academic and social-emotional support they need to get into a top college, achieve academic success during the college (with programs like Summer Academy), graduate from college and then pursue fulfilling jobs and careers. It offers multi-stage, integrated program of support to ensure students not only get into the top colleges in the country, but they can thrive during college and graduate to pursue fulfilling careers. And the model is working. More than 90 percent of its scholars attend a Top 100 College - and more than 40 percent go to Ivy League schools.
