Stanford College Prep

Stanford College Prep (SCP) is a direct-service tutoring program offered by the Haas Center for Public Service. The Haas Center's mission is “to inspire Stanford University to realize a just and sustainable world through service, scholarship, and community partnerships.”

SCP partners with the charter East Palo Alto Academy High School (EPAAHS) to provide 60 first-generation, low-income minority students with the resources and support to succeed academically in high school and go on to college. Stanford student mentors/tutors work directly with high school students in neighboring East Palo Alto where about 70% of youth do not graduate.

Stanford College Prep aims to close the achievement gap by promoting and modeling academic success, self-development and access to resources through Stanford student mentors/tutors, after-school curriculum, Saturday workshops, college tours, summer programs, and parent education workshops. Through SCP, Stanford students grow into agents of positive social change.
