Partnership Scholars Program

PSP has an 11 member board of trustees. They oversee the organization and we asked what they are grateful for this holiday season. We are grateful for their service and commitment to PSP and our PSP scholars.

Our Board Chair, Ms. Meg Sanchez says, “I’m grateful for more than 22 years of friendship with Dr. Glenn Langer, the founder of PSP. Because of him I have been involved in a program with wonderful, kind and intelligent scholars, mentors and donors, people I would not otherwise  have had the chance to know and spend time with. He will forever be my hero.” – Ms. Sanchez, Board Chair

We asked our scholars what their favorite PSP outings were during the year.

We had many opportunities for them to experience new foods, cultures and activities.

One scholar says, “My favorite PSP outing this year was going to China Town. I got to try new food and learn about a new culture.”
– Hailee Y., Ukiah

PSP is excited to be participating in Los Angeles Magazine’s Give Los Angeles Challenge! It’s a friendly fundraising campaign launched by Los Angeles Magazine where non-profit organizations compete to raise the most money with the top teams winning grand prize cash donations.

You can donate on our CrowdRise page to help us reach our goal to raise enough funds to induct 5 new students!

The campaign began on November 15, 2017 and ends on January 2, 2018 at 12:00 pm PST. Any funds raised during the campaign for PSP will be used to induct new scholars and a total of $15,000 will be given away to the top earning organization in the challenge. We’re ready to raise as much money as we can so we can win the $15,000 grand prize donation.

This is an exciting time for our 41 senior scholars as they are finalizing their applications for colleges and universities! PSP is here to provide support with your college list, understanding the application process and any fees. Below are application tips and resources from our college success retreat.

During the month of October, we were able to reconnect with PSP scholars in southern and northern California. During these meetings, we were reminded of the special privilege of being a part of PSP and the responsibilities that come with it. Scholars came together to create and discuss their personal mission statement and steps they must take to meet their personal and communal goals.

Our mentors and scholars share their favorite museum memories and photos with us below!

29 PSP scholars are now high school freshman! Transitioning to high school can be difficult as students have to familiarize themselves with new facilities, classmates, and teachers. Our freshmen are making a strong transition and know they can count on the support of their mentors and PSP if they need academic or personal support. They have all been in high school for around three months now and they’re sharing their thoughts on their transition to high school with us.
