“The most valuable part of OSP is the community. We’re a family of scholars who are not only on our path to success but also actively encourage growth in others. It is not competitive but rather communal.”

Student Spotlight 〰️
Jose
Our Class of 2025 Scholar was featured on Telemundo as he discussed the influence mariachi music had on his life. Jose’s love for music began at an early age when he joined his local church choir. Keep up the great work, Jose!
Genesis
Over the summer, our Class of 2024 Scholar, Genesis, attended EPIC (Engineering Possibilities in College) at Cal Poly SLO. At EPIC, participants explore the engineering world through live virtual and in-person engineering labs. Participants learn about engineering fields through hands-on labs from university professors and industry professionals. They can design, build, and test their engineering project!
