"We at TPG are proud to support 10,000 Degrees in its mission to reach and empower young people through their education. We have had the privilege of working with the organization for many years, and deeply admire the program’s hands-on approach to mentorship and unwavering commitment to helping students from all backgrounds realize their full potential."
"As a first-generation college student, 10,000 Degrees made it possible for me to pursue a career within the tech industry by offering support in various ways going into and throughout college. Support in applications, job/internship opportunities, and workshops are crucial for any student to be successful. With that support, I was able to acquire a job opportunity with Keysight Technologies with their interferometry products and am grateful I am in a company that shows value to employees’ growth."
"Loomis Sayles is committed to being a financial supporter and strategic partner to 10,000 Degrees. We firmly believe in the mission of giving every student the opportunity to get to and through college so that they can positively impact the world. At Loomis Sayles, our internship program is geared toward first generation college students. We have had a number of highly successful 10,000 Degrees interns who have gone on to become employed in the investment industry."
"Solano Dermatology Associates is proud to support the amazing work of 10,000 Degrees. We believe that the future relies upon the success of children in our community.
Supporting 10,000 Degrees allows us to help students navigate their way to college and beyond. Their accomplishments will positively impact their families, their communities, and future generations.
We hope some might pursue a career in healthcare. Our medical professionals should be represented by members of all communities; some who might return to help fill the healthcare needs locally."
"Jackson Family Wines is proud to partner with 10,000 Degrees to help students from low income backgrounds get to and through college. Since 2014, we have invested in 10,000 Degrees scholarships for Sonoma County students, and for Jackson Family Wines employees in need, because we share a vision of a world where all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background will have the full range of educational opportunities, support, and resources to realize their full potential. Our promise is to build a culture where diversity, equity, and inclusion thrive.”
"We believe every person should have access to equitable quality education –which is why Medtronic Foundation is proud to partner with 10,000 Degrees and provide equity-focused scholarships and wrap-around support to low-income students pursuing a degree in STEM. In addition to removing financial barriers through scholarships, our employees look forward to serve as mentors and advisors to help scholarship recipients navigate their academic journey."
