TRIO Pre-University Programs
at California Lutheran University
The journey to the college of your dreams starts here.
TRIO Pre-University Programs at Cal Lutheran offer support with academic, career and financial literacy counseling to high school students in their preparation for college entrance.
Through a consortium of federally-funded college access and equitable opportunity direct service programs, our goal is to increase the rate at which first-generation and income-eligible college bound students enroll in and graduate from post-secondary institutions with a baccalaureate degree.
Our programs also aim to help students recognize and develop their potential to excel in math, science and the arts — to encourage them to pursue post-secondary degrees and careers in STEAM fields.
Upward Bound
Upward Bound programs have been offered at Cal Lutheran since 1980 and currently provide year-round services to a minimum of 221 high school students.
