The Friends of Cal-SOAP Dollars for Scholars Chapter, was founded in 2004 and ended in 2015. For 11 years, the chapter supported the program's mission (see below) through fundraising and awarding scholarship dollars to local students pursuing higher education.
California Student Opportunity & Access Program (Cal-SOAP) Mission:
By building collaborative relationships with federal, state, and local sponsors, Cal-SOAP is working to increase the number of students who avail themselves of postsecondary opportunities.
The goal of the program is two-fold: 1) to advise, motivate, and inform students regarding college admissions and financial aid information, and 2) to academically assist students to achieve college potential.
Cal-SOAP's primary focus is to serve:
• students from low-income families
• first-generation college students
• students from schools with documented low eligibility or college participation rates
• students coming from geographic areas with documented low eligibility or college participation rates
