FastStart

The FastStart summer academy program provides a transition platform from high school to the University of California, Riverside. It is a five-week intensive program for disadvantaged students who aspire to medical and other science based careers. The goal of FastStart is to get students off to a strong start in their critical science curriculum and provide academic and social support needed to persist and succeed in their higher educational goals.
