KAYNE SCHOLARS
Kayne Scholars is a holistic program dedicated to advancing the potential of low-income, first-generation college students to graduate from either the California State University or University of California system and pivot into sustainable, meaningful careers in STEM or business related fields. As rising college freshmen, students attend the Kayne Scholars-UCLA Summer Bridge Program. UCLA Mathematics Project will offer a “Bridge to Calculus” course designed to reinforce and extend students’ foundational mathematical skills, strengthen their recent core mathematical knowledge base, and help them learn new ideas using calculus through an algebraic lens.
