About the Program
The mission of the Rising Scholars Program is to ensure that students achieve their educational goals and feel supported as they transition into the college environment by providing on-boarding support services and intensive monitoring and mentoring services. The program will also address the following Vision for Success goals:
- Increase the number of students who acquire associate degrees, credentials, certificates, or specific skill sets that prepare them for an in-demand job
- Increase the number of students transferring to a UC, CSU or four-year independent college/university
- Decrease the average number of units accumulated by students earning associate degrees
- Reduce equity gaps through faster improvements among underrepresented student groups
