Boost College-Prep Program at UC Berkeley Haas

Where is the Class of 2026 Headed?

We’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our Class of 2026!

Congratulations to Mia, Azucena, Elizabeth, Kaylee, Alexis, Durelle, Jalil, Tenzin, Fernanda, and Mia — the future is yours!!

This year, our incredible scholars received over 275 college acceptances - from the prestigious University of California system to renowned Historically Black Colleges and Universities!

Last night we celebrated our Boost class of 2026 and all their successes and plans for their futures! All 34 of the graduates will be pursuing higher education from right here in Berkeley, to Hawaii, Texas, NY, Maine and more! Our grads will be going to Community colleges, UC’s, CSU’s as well as in state and out of state private schools! We are so proud of yet another amazing class of Boost Scholars!!

That’s a WRAP! Our academic year programming is complete as of this afternoon! Such inspiring sessions today with business plan presentations, recapping our MoneyWise America program with the Charles Schwab Foundation, another scholarship working session with Securing Degrees and leadership communication lessons. Now onto Graduation and selecting our Boost class of 2030 that will start their journey with us in June!

On this rainy April day, we are still getting it done here at the Boost Program! So much going on and doing our best to be filling some of the Haas classrooms (and courtyard) with amazing high school scholars, super volunteer mentors and dedicated staff.

And just like that, our Boost 2026 Coastal College is underway! Five days on the road visiting eight different schools and lots of good times in-between!

Prospective Boost Scholars,
11 Days To Go! Don’t just dream it — achieve it! Be our next cohort Class of 2030.

Good people doing good things - it's a simple yet powerful formula for a wonderful day! By working together towards a common goal, we can achieve great things, whether it's through mentoring, giving back, or supporting each other's unique paths. This is what the Boost Program embodies and I'm proud to be a part of this amazing community.

Hey Scholars, look at us on the jumbotron!! Thank you to the Golden State Warriors for taking our amazing boost scholars on a tour of the Chase Center and tickets to an exciting game! Dubnation!!
