Company Profile
Thrive Scholars
Company Overview
At Thrive Scholars, our goal is to see talented BIPOC students from economically disadvantaged communities develop economic mobility and financial security, and become the diverse corporate, civic, and academic leaders our country so desperately needs.
Our comprehensive, data-driven, high-touch program model focuses on the key inflection points that can be the difference between just graduating from any college, and graduating from a top college with the grades, degree, career skills, and network needed to thrive in a career that positions students for economic mobility. Over our six-year program, Scholars benefit from admissions and intensive academic preparation before college and a comprehensive set of academic, personal, social-emotional, financial, and career supports throughout college.
Thrive originated in Los Angeles as South Central Scholars (“SCS”) and spent the first 13 years refining its comprehensive, integrated high school-through-career program model. The founders replicated this model in Boston in 2014 as Noonan Scholars and then merged the two programs into SCS Noonan Scholars in 2017. As part of its national expansion strategy, SCS Noonan Scholars rebranded as Thrive Scholars, and began launching new regions across the country, including Chicago, Cleveland, Jacksonville FL, and New York.
