Our Give Day campaign is to raise money for 5 exceptional HESA scholarship recipients. The Highlander Early Start Academy (Summer Bridge program) is a 7 week summer program for incoming 1st year students to begin taking classes, earning units, and connecting with peers, faculty and campus. A majority of HESA students are the 1st in their families to go to college. HESA challenges students, gives them more confidence in both their personal and academic development, and provides them with knowledge about the campus and resources in order to allow them to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.
Your gift provides access and opportunity for these diverse students to start at UCR on the right foot! HESA students are retained at UCR for their 2nd year at a higher rate than all other 1st year students. Give today and help incoming 1st year students thrive at UCR!
