The Citrus College Rising Scholars program engages and supports students with current or prior justice-system involvement by fostering access, retention and academic success throughout their educational experience at Citrus College.

Our goal is to provide unique services, individualized counseling, career information, community referrals, cultural activities and enrichment workshops, as well as academic and personal guidance, to help empower students on their educational journey to earning an associate degree, a career technical certificate and/or transfer to a college or university. We are here to ensure you achieve your educational goals and feel supported along your way!
