The Phoenix Scholars is a higher education nonprofit based in Palo Alto, California, founded in 2010. It provides free college admissions consulting and mentorship to low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented minority high school students across California. The program pairs high school juniors with mentors who are current undergraduates at Stanford University or the University of California, Berkeley, many of whom share similar backgrounds, and assigns each mentor to a small group of scholars to ensure individualized guidance throughout the college admissions process. This structure aims to supplement the guidance students receive from their schools' counselors by offering more focused, mentor-led support.
