  • Book Scholarship
    The goal of the TEST: UP program is to provide advisement and guidance to Santa Ana College students with career and educational goals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The program is designed to make students aware of support programs and resources on campus and to ensure that they are receiving the proper guidance for successful transfer to a four-year university. The TEST: UP STEM Scholars portfolio will assist you in preparing to transfer to a new institution by making sure you are prepared and aware of various opportunities available to you and you will also receive a $100 book scholarship for your participation in TEST:UP and completion of the STEM Scholars portfolio.

  • Study 25-35
    • Across the nation, colleges recommend that students study at least two hours per unit per week, or 25-35 hours per week for a full-time student taking 12-17 units.  
    • You will also spend 12-17 hours in class each week, depending on the number of units you are taking. 
    • The total time commitment for your classes is quite reasonable, around 40-50 hours per week, very similar to the time required for a full-time job.
    • If you think of school as your full-time job, you will be able to commit the hours required to succeed.  So remember, study 25-35 hours per week and you will succeed
