University of California, Merced

In fall 2018, the University of California, Merced’s Center for Educational Partnerships partnered with College Advising Corps to launch the UC Merced College Advising Corps

Eight advisers serve high schools in the San Joaquin Valley to help low-income and first-generation Valley students enroll and succeed in college. In the 2018-19 school year, advisers served about 3,800 students at Madera, Madera South, El Capitan, Atwater, Buhach Colony, Los Banos, Pacheco, and Turlock high schools.
