Partnership with Thrive Scholars
The WSTA is proud to announce its partnership with Thrive Scholars!
This year has certainly been a challenging one. People from all walks of life have found ways to adjust and adapt to a constantly changing definition of “normal”.
As we move into the holiday season, these changes persist. To the disappointment of many, the annual networking event Holiday Gala has been cancelled. In lieu of this event, the WSTA is proud to make a donation to Thrive Scholars!

What is Thrive Scholars?
Thrive is an organization that supports high-achieving, low income students of color so that they can thrive at top colleges and achieve their career potential.
Thrive Scholars began in 2001 as a scholarship program focused on high-achieving low-income Black and African American students in South Central Los Angeles. Soon, it grew into a multi-stage, integrated program offering scholarships, academic intervention, academic and social-emotional support, and career guidance and networking.
Today, Thrive helps students all across the nation find success in college and their chosen careers through scholarships and mentorship.
James Kostulias, WSTA Board President
“Through this partnership, the WSTA will provide students access to its professional network, including mentoring, internships, and jobs, to assist them with their career goals.
We are proud to support the objectives of Thrive & its culture of diversity, inclusion, and equity for underrepresented students considering careers in financial services technology.”
Steve Stein, CEO of Thrive Scholars
“We appreciate WSTA’s partnership, which contributes to our commitment to provide high-achieving, low income students of color with the support and resources they need to achieve long term success and fulfilling careers.
The generosity of our partners is critical to our ability to offer our Scholars the suite of support services they need.”
