领导. 社区. 赋权.

The 社区 Involvement Program (CIP) is more than just a scholarship; it's a commitment to the future leaders. Designed exclusively for first-generation college students from the Stockton community, CIP invests in those who have shown a spark for sustainable leadership and a deep awareness of community. Its track record speaks for itself – an admirable 87% graduation rate for first-year students and a staggering 90% for transfer students. Since its establishment in 1969, the program has seen over 2,000 students graduate, a testament to its unwavering dedication to molding the changemakers of tomorrow.
