Join us as we

East Bay Scholars
in their communities.

Bloc 15, Oakland, CA
6:00 pm

SEO Scholars creates a more equitable society by closing the academic and opportunity gap for motivated young people. Our free, eight-year academic program successfully educates and mentors underserved, low-income high school students across the Bay Area to and through college – with a 90% college graduation rate.

When SEO Scholars first began serving students in San Francisco back in 2011, we were accepting just 20 students a year. We now support over 350 high school students from 66 schools throughout the Bay Area. More than 50% of Scholars are now coming from the East Bay, across 14 cities.

The First Annual Excellence Benefit will be held at Bloc15 in Oakland, California on May 15, 2025 to highlight the stories and successes of our East Bay Scholars in their communities. The event is modeled after our flagship Achievement Benefit. Come together with business and community leaders from San Francisco and the East Bay to celebrate the Bay Area’s premier college access and success program. Mingle over elevated cocktails and food with those who are invested in closing the achievement gap for motivated Bay Area students.
