Education First is dedicated to providing need-based college scholarships to exceptional seniors attending high schools with historically low percentages of college applicants. By rewarding students with strength of character, a commitment to learning, and a vision for their future, our aim is to invest in individuals who will positively affect their communities.
Founded in August 1995 by a small group of recent college graduates, Education First is a nonprofit organization that believes higher education is critical to enhancing one's life and community.
Local chapters in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Austin.
