Upward Scholars’ 6th Annual Graduation Celebration

In 2020, when none of the community colleges hosted graduations for students, Upward Scholars stepped up to celebrate our students virtually with our first-ever Graduation Celebration. The celebration is so popular among the Upward Scholars family that it is now an annual event.

In Spring 2025, Upward Scholars will have 49 graduates from Cañada College, College of San Mateo, and Skyline College—a new record!

Students earned certificates of achievement in areas such as Preparation for Academic Scholarship and Success (PASS), Accounting, Early Childhood Education, Medical Assisting, Paralegal Studies, and Cosmetology. Students also earned associate’s degrees in areas such as Biology, Business Administration, Computer Science, Early Childhood Education, Economics, Nursing, and Psychology.

Please join us in celebrating our students’ momentous achievements.

When: Sunday, June 22, 3–4 pm (PST)

Where: Zoom. Look for the link in our monthly newsletter or email Jessica at jessica@upwardscholars.org to receive it.
