“Making college a reality” isn’t just what we believe in, it’s what we do. San Jose Cal-SOAP has been dedicated to getting students into college since 1978. Our goal is to improve the flow of information about higher education and financial aid to the families in the Great San Jose Area. Along with that knowledge, we equip students with the right skills and preparation to succeed.

Our programs range from workshops on financial aid to in-class tutoring to college tours. This website is built as an additional resource to help students navigate their way through the college going experience. We believe that with the right knowledge and skills, college is more than just a dream, it’s a reality.
