EGC student wins Students Rising Above scholarship.  Watch her story on CBS5

Amily He, one of the students whom the Center for Educational Partnerships serves through our Educational Guidance Center (EGC), just graduated as valedictorian at Skyline HS.  She is being featured on CBS5, as a winner of the Students Rising Above scholarship created by Wendy Tokuda.  Click here to watch her courageous story.

Luz Chavez, our EGC College Advisor who helped Amily with SAT preparation courses, a tour of southern California college campuses and applications, is also interviewed in the story.

Amily is one of 22,000 low-income, first generation college-bound students served by the Center for Educational Partnerships each year in the Bay Area. The Educational Guidance Center is one of CEP’s ten programs which help students dream of and get to college through academic enrichment, family services and creating change at school and district levels.  Ninety percent of the seniors in our programs attend college – and they are usually the first in their family to do so!
