Rising Tide Scholars
Students impacted by the criminal justice system face unimaginable barriers from enrollment to completion of degree or certificate. The Rising Tide Scholars program for formerly incarcerated and systems impacted (FISI) students at Coastline College is committed to supporting our scholar community.
"Higher education has the potential to disrupt cycles of recidivism in ways that enable our Rising Tide Scholars to become successful students, parents, role models, and community leaders." -Dr. Dale Lendrum Ed.D.
