With funding set for the next three years for the Rising Scholars Center at East Los Angeles College, formerly-incarcerated students have a better chance of obtaining an education.
Formerly incarcerated students are a part of many of California’s colleges and at East Los Angeles College they have a support system in the Education Justice Rising Scholars Center and program.
Equitably dealing with formerly incarcerated students gives them the chance to not just continue with their lives but to thrive in education and beyond.
The opening of the Education Justice Rising Scholars program’s new center on Wednesday is the culmination of the hard work done by the program staff and formerly-incarcerated students.
