Expansion to the Peninsula
Scholarship Program
In 2025, the Presidio Scholars Program expanded beyond San Francisco for the first time, launching a Peninsula cohort in Redwood City. This pilot brought students together with local industry partners for hands-on, project-based learning, mentorship, and exposure to real estate, design, and construction. The expansion marked an important step toward a scalable model, strengthening partnerships and broadening access to career pathways across new communities.
