Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide six years of educational and cultural experiences to academically motivated, but economically disadvantaged students, starting in the 7th grade, to promote college access and a lifetime of success.
About This Cause
Following a rigorous admission process, our scholars are provided a mentor throughout the six year program. The goal of the program is to: - Enable our scholars to qualify for entry into four year universities with scholarship aid. - Expose students to a variety of educational and cultural enrichment activities and college access guidance. - Provide opportunities similar to those a middle class family would provide for their college bound children. Examples of outings and activities include trips to museums, concerts, sporting events and restaurants. In addition, mentors and scholars visit local and national colleges of interest in California, in the Midwest and on the East Coast. Since 1996, PSP has inducted 700 scholars throughout California. We support over 250 scholars from seven communities in Northern and Southern California: El Monte, Fort Bragg, Hawthorne, Lennox, Mendocino, Ukiah and Venice. Ninety three percent of our high school graduates are attending or have graduated from colleges located all over the United States including Brown, Columbia, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, USC and Berkeley. Recent surveys of our students show that over 80% of all our graduates are on track to graduate from college within six years, a figure 20 points higher than the national rate.
