Your generosity will support college access programs that engage hundreds of youth every year guided by faculty to participate in hands-on lab experiences at USC’s Health Sciences Campus. Programs like Med-COR focused on health careers, Expanding STARS focused on engineering, science, and research, and the Physician Assistant Pipeline Program support students from diverse backgrounds in becoming academically competitive for admission to colleges and universities, including USC.

Setting the stage for college begins early with college students, staff, and faculty and friends who dedicate their time to help students reach their full potential. One example is PressFriends which reaches elementary school children with committed volunteers who provide mentorship on journalism and guidance with children’s educational aspirations.
