Students are referred in their sophomore year of high school, typically by a referral partner who is a teacher or counselor in the school. 95% of Summer Search students are low‐income (defined as eligible for free/reduced Federal lunches). They are primarily first generation college bound students who show potential to be leaders in their schools, families and communities, though they are usually not the obvious high achieving students, academically or socially. Students must then submit an essay and complete an in depth interview. Description of Program Summer Search identifies low‐income high school students with leadership qualities and supports them from their sophomore year of high school through their first two years of post‐secondary education. There are scholarships to two life‐changing summer trips and of course that is one of the best parts of our program. But what makes Summer Search just as special is the year‐round support you will receive; a mentor to talk to weekly ‐ about school, work, life, or your summer trip. College support during your senior year ‐ help choosing the right college, assistance with applying, and even help searching for financial aid. 91% of our students in 2010 were the first in their families to go to college ‐ which is an amazing achievement! We will help guide you through the college process so it is not a mystery. Even while you are in college we will be there for you ‐ to check in and help you find internships exclusive to Summer Search students. After 5 years, alumni continue to stay connected, receive support and give back to Summer Search as members of the Alumni Association. As a Summer Search alumnus, you'll be part of an exclusive group of individuals whose lives are impacted by Summer Search. And remember, once a Summer Searcher, always a Summer Searcher!

In general, students must demonstrate both an academic and financial need. Individual tutoring scholarships are decided upon via application. Larger programs vary in the degree to which students apply, but are always conducted on an opt‐in basis. School and CBO partners will work together with us to determine which students participate in our program. Description of Program The Tutorpedia Foundation offers tutoring scholarships to deserving K‐12 students in the Bay Area. Students apply to receive one hour of free tutoring every week throughout the school year – approximately 30 hours of one‐on‐
one academic support. Students are matched with an experienced tutor, and will meet with the same tutor throughout the course of the year. Tutors help with homework, test preparation, study skills, and organizational strategies. All tutoring is student‐centered: Our tutors focus each session on the individual needs and goals of each student. The scholarship application is open to all students, but accepted students will have both a financial and academic need for tutoring.
