About Project RAISE
Project RAISE (Regional Alliance In STEM Education) integrates a variety of services and project components to increase persistence, retention, and graduation rates among participants.
Students can engage in:
- Outreach visits to CSUF for presentations and lab tours
- Outreach presentations at partner community colleges
- Undergraduate Research Program (URE), an 8-week summer research experience guided by CSUF faculty
- RAISE Transfer Program (RTP), a peer advising and academic support program for students who transfer to CSUF
- Internship Preparation Program (IPP), a program to prepare RTP participants to pursue and participate in internships in STEM
- Research Preparation Program (RPP), a program to prepare RTP participants to pursue and participate in research activities in STEM
Community college and campus partners:
- Participate in advisory board meetings three times a year to discuss grant objectives and activities
- Engage in assessment and improvement of articulation and transfer agreements and practices
- Collaborate with Project RAISE staff to host workshops on community college campuses
Project RAISE is funded through Project RAISER, a regional alliance in STEM education refined, a U.S. Department of Education Title III HSI-STEM grant awarded to CSUF beginning October 1, 2021. That grant is expected to end September 30, 2026.
The purpose of the Hispanic-Serving Institutions - Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (HSI STEM) and Articulation Programs is to: (1) increase the number of Hispanic and other low-income students attaining degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics; and (2) to develop model transfer and articulation agreements between two-year and four-year institutions in such fields.
Project RAISE is open and available to all who are interested to apply and/or participate, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity, national origin, or any other protected status.
