California's Dinuba District Signs Guaranteed-Admission Pathway With Fresno Pacific: 3.0 GPA Qualifies, Scholarships of $8,000 to $18,000 a Year
The Dinuba Unified School District in Tulare County, California, announced on November 11 that it has partnered with Fresno Pacific University to create a new pathway to a university education, providing guaranteed admission for eligible students, scholarship opportunities and personalized support for students and families navigating the college admission process. District Superintendent Joe Kochevar and Fresno Pacific President André Stephens celebrated the partnership at a signing ceremony on November 2.
Under the agreement, Dinuba students who earn a minimum 3.0 weighted cumulative GPA and complete the required application process will be guaranteed admission to Fresno Pacific. Students enrolling directly into the university's traditional undergraduate program can receive annual academic scholarships ranging from $8,000 to $18,000 as well as need-based financial aid, and application fees will be waived. The agreement takes effect starting this school year for students at the ninth grade level.
The pathway is part of Fresno Pacific's Sunbird Flight Plan initiative, which works with Central Valley school districts to make higher education more accessible. (Source: Fresno Pacific University)
