Project Rebound

Cal State Monterey Bay’s Project Rebound program supports the success of formerly incarcerated individuals as they work to transform their lives through higher education. This transformative program supports individuals in achieving their educational goals, offering a second chance at success. 

We offer special admissions for those who might not normally qualify for university acceptance due to application deadlines, minor academic deficiencies, and other related barriers. Project Rebound recognizes the importance of access to quality education for all and assists motivated individuals to prepare, apply, enroll, and graduate with a university degree. 

Project Rebound staff serve as liaisons with campus services and programs, as well as with community organizations. By offering resources and connections with supportive entities, we assist students with meeting their basic needs so they can concentrate on gaining experience in their field of study and achieve educational and personal empowerment.
