School-To-College (STC) is a mentoring program that encourages diverse, at-risk, low-income and first-generation college-bound students to go to college and guides them through the college application process. STC works with students in grades 9 through 12 in the San Francisco Unified School District. STC's goal is to reduce the achievement gap and diversify college campuses. STC accomplishes this by providing counseling and academic advisement.
