Governor’s Committee on Scholastic Achievement (GCSA) is embedded in five Title I public high schools across New York City. We serve students who are less likely to reach and complete college without additional support — support their under-resourced schools often can’t provide. Through long-term mentorship, workshops, and a $4,000 scholarship, GCSA helps students navigate their postsecondary journeys with confidence and community.

GCSA matches students with mentors from mission-driven companies who meet with them biweekly throughout high school. Partners also host career panels, workplace visits, and help fund scholarships, expanding what students see as possible.
