Upward Scholars (formerly Sequoia Adult School Scholars or SASS) empowers low-income adults, mostly immigrants, by providing financial, academic and community support so they can continue their education, get higher paying jobs, and serve as role models and advocates for their children. Learn more about our impact here.
In 2011, SASS provided financial assistance to two students attending college. This fall we’re helping more than 300. Our students range in age from 18 to 66. Most are from Latin America, but we have recipients from Asia and Africa as well.
Here's what SASS provides:
• College textbooks, which can cost several hundred dollars a semester.
• Bus passes to college
• Academic tutors (Sixty volunteer tutors are currently helping SASS recipients with their classwork.)
• Laptops for high-achieving recipients
• SASS Conversation Club
