Rising Scholars On-Campus

What We Provide

Chaffey is committed to supporting system impacted students both during and after incarceration. We understand that some students may wish to receive support while maintaining their privacy, while others may wish to connect with other students that have been impacted by the system. This is why we provide both foundational support as well as access to community.

Rising Scholars On-Campus students are eligible to receive:

Laptops
Financial Aid and Application Assistance
Academic and Career Counseling
A Book Store Grant
Food Bags from Panther Pantry
Connection with Other Students and Campus Resources

Campus Support for Students

Admissions and Financial Aid

You must first apply to the college to create a student ID number. Once you have this, you can complete the other steps in becoming a student, such as orientation and academic counseling. The second step is filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This will determine what kind of funding you may be eligible for to help pay for college. If ineligible for federal funding, Chaffey College also offers the Panther Promise as a way to pay for school.
