South County Cal-SOAP understands the jump from high school to college is a tough transition for any student; for low-income and first-generation students, it can be nearly impossible. Financial stability is a constant battle, but with the help of generous donors (like you!), the support doesn’t stop when students need it the most. The Cal-SOAP Scholarship Fund has granted over $1.4 million worth of scholarships to both new and continuing college students.
