Education Justice Rising Scholars

A Prison to College Pathway

Helping formerly incarcerated and system impacted students successfully transition into academia by providing reintegration services and a pathway to higher education through academic counseling, career guidance, and mentorship. Our success management and dedicated academic counseling can help you apply to ELAC and explore ELAC’s eight Career and Academic Pathways (CAPs) that lead to rewarding careers or preparation for transfer. There are many programs available for financial aid. Additionally, Rising Scholars are eligible to receive book grants, school materials, and technology support. Build strong relationships with our faculty partners dedicated to support formerly incarcerated and system impacted students develop knowledge, skills, and understanding in various subject areas required to earn a degree and transfer to a university. Our program provides opportunities for Rising Scholars to learn and participate in various campus and off-campus workshops and conferences that build valuable connections and knowledge sharing.
