We have joyous news! Thanks to a generous matching gift from Wareham Development, every donation to Berkeley Community Scholars will now be matched dollar for dollar, up to $150,000, through June 30th. That means your gift can go twice as far in helping scholars stay in college, graduate, and build meaningful careers. BCS supports Berkeley students who are the first in their families to pursue a college degree, come from households in the lowest economic quartile, and identify with groups historically underrepresented in higher education, providing college success advising, mentoring/networking, and career readiness. And it works: 80% of BCS scholars graduate within 4.5 years, compared to 30% of their national peers. If you've been thinking about supporting BCS, now is the perfect time. https://lnkd.in/gyH84Xen #CollegeSuccess #BerkeleyCommunityScholars
