"I believe education is the key to success, which is why I work so hard and take advantage of every opportunity at my high school. I am very grateful that Bay Scholars has granted me the ability to do so.

After high school, I hope to study Environmental Science in college. Then, someday I hope to get my Master's and my PhD. I want to make the world a more sustainable place for ALL of its inhabitants by working to reverse climate change, deforestation, and restore lost ecosystems."⁠

Say HELLO to Bay Scholar Isaac V., class of 2028

"One person that inspires me is my dad because of the way he is able to overcome obstacles in his life. He is my inspiration, showing me how far hard work can get you -- and even when times are hard, you should still work towards your goal. Here's a picture of my Dad and I in New York last year on my first trip there."
