Students who earn a 3.5 GPA earn a $4,000 scholarship to attend UCSD’s Academic Connections, a three-week college residential program where they take real college classes, live in real college dorms, and earn real college-prep units every summer after 9th, 10th, and 11th grade.

Job Shadow Week gives students the opportunity to learn from a working professional for a 1/2 day during their spring breaks. Job Shadow hosts show what it is like to have a job in their occupation and let students carry out basic tasks.
