Cal Berkeley Community College Mentorship Program (CCMP), was created by a student at Cal Berkeley with the intent to help increase the number of underrepresented students at 4-year universities. Community college students who apply are connected to Cal students who serve as mentors. These mentors will hold weekly meetings to help with any questions about transferring (how to apply, how to pay for college, how to write a personal statement, etc). This program is intended for students interested in attending any 4-year - not just Berkeley - regardless of major.

The application deadline is Friday, October 16th.

For questions, please contact: mixedtransfer@gmail.com

NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) is an agencywide STEM engagement activity for community college students to engage in authentic learning experiences with NASA’s diverse people, content and facilities. Funded by the Minority Undergraduate Research and Education Project’s (MUREP) competitive awards, NASA provides financial assistance to minority serving institutions. These institutions recruit and retain underrepresented and underserved students, including women, girls, veterans and persons with disabilities, into STEM fields.

During the program, students compete to become a NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar by completing STEM-based activities online to become eligible to visit a NASA Center for a four-day, expenses paid, onsite experience.

The genesis of Microalgae came from an alumni of the NCAS activity who simply proposed a good research idea and is now an International Space Station (ISS) Payload Developer.

NAVFAC will be contributing content to the Department of Defense booth at SciFest All Access where attendees of all ages will access 100+ virtual exhibits featuring interactive STEM content, view inspiring performances on the STEM Stage, earn badges and prizes in an online scavenger hunt, and shop in the STEM Store.

If you have any questions, please reach out to NCAS at JSC-NCAS@mail.nasa.gov
