Founded by NFL Alumni Reggie Stephens, the Reggie Stephens Foundation (RSF) has been empowering youth and young adults throughout California since 2018 through comprehensive programs in sports, arts, education, and culture.
After his professional football career with the New York Giants, Reggie returned to his hometown of Santa Cruz with a mission: to create opportunities for young people that combine athletic excellence, artistic expression, academic achievement, and cultural awareness—the same pillars that shaped his own journey from local athlete to professional sports.
This partnership represents a strategic alignment between RSF’s commitment to holistic youth development and Zenith’s proven track record of positioning students for success at the nation’s most selective universities. Together, we’re translating opportunity into outcomes that open doors at the highest levels.
Purpose-built collaboration translating opportunity into measurable outcomes
Selected RSF students gain access to Zenith’s 18-year proprietary dataset and admissions methodology—the same intelligence system that has guided thousands of students to acceptances at every top-25 university in the country.
Joint presence at events, speaking engagements, and community programs amplifies both organizations’ missions and expands the reach of proven admissions intelligence to RSF’s network.
RSF’s sports, arts, and culture programs complement Zenith’s academic positioning strategy—building well-rounded profiles that stand out in the most competitive admissions landscapes.
Combining athletic leadership with admissions intelligence creates measurable student outcomes. Every partnership element is designed to translate into results that admissions committees recognize and value.
