About US
We partner with public high schools that have insufficient postsecondary planning resources for the intersectional needs of New York City’s diverse student population. To fill their gaps, at each school we form small GCSA communities and offer postsecondary planning, career exploration, and one-on-one mentoring from 10th through 12th grade. GCSA then provides a $9,000 scholarship over four years for each student’s continued education in addition to ongoing postsecondary advising and community-building.
Through a long-term and objective-driven model, GCSA creates a fun and safe space for young people to learn about themselves and pursue aspirational goals. We activate a web of support for each student that includes family, peers, in-school staff, and a dedicated volunteer mentor, with GCSA staff as advisors, advocates, and cheerleaders.

In addition to our mentoring program, GCSA awards scholarships to all participating students as stipends of approximately $9,000 across their post-secondary education. GCSA offers underserved high-school students a chance to set goals, dream big, and build a bright future, knowing that they have a reliable support system in place.
