Butte College Rising Scholars welcomes you!

Students who have experienced the criminal justice system can face significant barriers to academic and career success. Butte College welcomes all students, including those who are incarcerated, those who have experienced incarceration in the past, and those who have been impacted by the criminal justice system. The Butte College program for incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, and system-impacted students is proud to be a part of the Rising Scholars Network.

Rising Scholars Club members participated in the Make a Difference Day at the 6th Street Center for Youth.
