Why CSP?
MYNT Education is committed to helping students from all socioeconomic backgrounds access higher education through the Community Scholars Program (CSP).
We offer individualized programs for students to optimize their academics. MYNT creates plans that fuel academic and extracurricular success. MYNT addresses students' personal interests to create a blueprint for college admission.
At no cost to families, selected Scholars will work closely with a MYNT counselor who will help the student navigate all aspects of the college application process. Scholars will meet with a counselor twice a month and should have transportation to the MYNT office in Pasadena (305 South Hudson Ave, Suite 202, Pasadena CA 91101).
Scholars will apply to the California State University, University of California, and 3 private schools. MYNT Education will help offset some of the cost of scholars' application fees.
Part I of the application is due July 1, 2025, which includes a general application. Please email Carlos Solorio (carlos.solorio@mynteducation.com) if you'd like us to send you the electronic application.
MYNT Education will follow up with selected candidates who will submit Part II of the application which includes several short essays. Students in the final round will also be asked to submit proof of parent income.
Selected scholars will be notified in early summer and will begin meeting with a MYNT counselor in August 2025.
Who should apply?
The Community Scholars Program is selective and open to juniors at any Southern California public high school that will graduate as part of the Class of 2026.
MYNT Education seeks motivated and academically strong students that are enrolled in at least one junior-year AP class and have a weighted GPA of at least 3.8. Students who demonstrate a commitment to community service and leadership will make more competitive candidates.
Applicants should be the first in their family to attend college and be eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Enrique lives in the city of Norwalk with two younger sisters and his parents, but that’s set to change as he moves to attend the United States Military Academy and study American Politics. During high school, he partook in track, cross country, Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia’s Young Legislators, a church group, and other activities. MYNT helped him with developing a college list, planning and completing essays, and filling out different sections of various college applications.
Lynwood High School
Stanford University
Being a first-generation student meant I had no guidance in the college application process. MYNT Education was able to remove the obstacles of being the first generation in my family to go to college by aiding me through essay help, advice on courses, and covering fees that come with applying for colleges. MYNT Education was able to help me reach my full potential, and thanks to this organization, I am proud to say I will be attending Stanford this fall.
MYNT Education is located in a two-story American Craftsman-style house on the corner of Hudson Ave and Del Mar Blvd.
