Peninsula Bridge, the program empowering under-resourced and first-generation students to achieve college and career success, and the Sandberg Goldberg Bernthal Family Foundation (SGB), announced today that 15 high school seniors have been selected as recipients of the Dave Goldberg Scholarship.
The Goldberg Scholarship Program was established by SGB in 2017 to support graduating high school seniors across the country who have demonstrated remarkable leadership and achievement. The scholarship honors the legacy of Dave Goldberg, by supporting a new generation of leaders who embody Dave’s qualities of leadership, resilience, achievement, generosity, kindness, independent thinking, and entrepreneurial spirit.
All 15 students will receive a unique combination of financial support and mentoring during their four-year college experience. Highlights include:
The 15 recipients of the Goldberg Scholarship are active Peninsula Bridge scholars who reside on the San Francisco Peninsula. All recipients are students of color from under-resourced households, and the majority will be the first in their families to attend college. All recipients will be attending college this fall, at schools including USC, UCLA, Bryn Mawr College, and Lehigh University.

“Dave believed every child should have an equal chance to thrive and succeed in this world,” said Sheryl Sandberg, Founder of the Sandberg Goldberg Bernthal Family Foundation. “These Goldberg Scholars reflect the determination, resilience, and hard work that Dave embodied throughout his life. Finding ways to honor him — to do the good he would be doing if he were still with us — means the world to our family. I know Dave would be so proud to see how the program is helping these incredibly talented Peninsula Bridge students have access to the opportunities they deserve.”
