CALIFORNIA STUDENT OPPORTUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM (CALSOAP)

Established in 1995, the purpose of the Northcoast CalSOAP Consortium is to increase the number of local students who attend college after high school. The intersegmental Consortium is made up of College of the Redwoods, Humboldt State University, local schools and community organizations. By combining resources, the Consortium coordinates local college outreach efforts throughout the CR service area.

In addition to regional collaboration, CalSOAP also provides college outreach services directly to 4th—12th grade students. Services to students and families include college preparation information, tutoring and eligibility for a scholarship. CalSOAP services are known as the College Knowledge program. Qualified college students are hired to be College Knowledge advisors and tutors to local students throughout the district. CalSOAP is jointly funded by Consortium members and the California Student Aid Commission.
