(VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. – Jan. 15, 2019) California Lutheran University and Moorpark College are collaborating to provide local middle school students who may not be considering college with a pathway to a bachelor’s degree lined with substantial support and scholarships.
More than two dozen sixth- and seventh-graders were selected for the first cohort of the innovative Rising Scholars Academy and will be introduced at a Jan. 17 kickoff event at Moorpark College.
Students who continue in the program will receive scholarships for full tuition and books for two years at Moorpark College and guaranteed acceptance to Cal Lutheran as a transfer student. Cal Lutheran will award full scholarships to five members of each year’s cohort and scholarships covering 50 percent of tuition to the rest.
