The year-long program is meant to support students who are embarking on the graduate school application process. Through workshops and social events, students have a chance to build community and work together in their application for graduate school.
The program focuses on master's, doctorate, teaching credential programs, business school, and law school. For medical school please check out Pre-Health Dreamers for additional programs available to students. This program is different from the UndocuGrad Exploration Program which is for students interested in learning about graduate school but not ready to apply.
