Mesa College to host Jumpstart, an event for incoming students to learn about free
tuition and college programs
By Office of Communications
San Diego, CA ---- On Saturday, March 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Mesa College
will host “Jumpstart Your Success.” Jumpstart is a free community event for prospective Mesa College students of all ages and their families
to learn about Mesa College programs and services, including the San Diego Promise,
which offers free tuition to eligible students. Families can learn more and RSVP at
https://www.sdmesa.edu/jumpstart.
“This is a great event for prospective Mesa students. When they join us for Jumpstart,
they not only get to experience the campus, they get a feel of what Mesa has to offer
through academic and student services support, such as access to free tuition,” said
Victoria Kerba Miller, Dean of Student Affairs. “We have current students, staff,
and faculty on hand to provide encouragement that they will succeed in their journey
here at Mesa.”
During the festivities, students will “get a feel for a day in the life of a Mesa
student” through workshops that highlight the campus’ academic and student support
resources, including financial aid, the San Diego Promise Program and the Honors Program.
Students will be able to interact with Peer Navigators, Student Ambassadors and the
Associated Students. Entertainment will be provided by Mesa College’s World Music, Dance and Jazz Quartet. FREE lunch will be provided (while supplies last), (so RSVP today).
Students attending Jumpstart will have their names entered in the opportunity drawing to win a $250 scholarship
to be applied toward enrollment fees during their first semester at Mesa College.
Recipients have to be graduating high school seniors or transferring Continuing Education
students to enter, and be present during the drawing of names to win.
Last year, more than 300 prospective students attended Jumpstart. Those planning to
attend this year’s event are encouraged to register for free online. For more information about Jumpstart, contact Victoria Miller at vmiller@sdccd.edu or (619) 388-2699.
