previously reported, Curry attended Davidson College in North Carolina from 2006-2009 and became the Wildcats program’s all-time leading scorer. However, he did not complete his degree at the time, opting instead to pursue an NBA career. He was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2009, per Spotrac. He later returned to earn his bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2022.

Davidson College Curry Scholars Program

Curry is now partnering with the school to launch the Davidson College Curry Scholars Program, which will provide individualized college and career coaching to high-achieving high school students from under-resourced communities hailing from the Bay Area, according to a press release. California’s Oakland Unified School District and non-profit College Track are partners in the program.

“Ayesha and I started our foundation in Oakland 7 years ago with the vision of making sure every kid has access to the opportunity and support they deserve in order to reach their full potential. Davidson is really pumped up to be working with high school students in the Bay Area and our friends at College Track to help talented and dedicated students from the Bay Area go to Davidson,” Curry said in a video.
