College Preparation Programs for High School and Community College Students

• The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP)

• MESA: Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement Program
  One of the country's most innovative and successful programs, MESA works with thousands of educationally disadvantaged students to help them excel in math and science and graduate with math-based degrees.
• The Puente Project
  This project provides teaching, counseling and mentoring to increase the number of educationally underserved students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities, earn their degrees, and return to the community as mentors and leaders to future generations.
