Opportunity for Incoming Undocumented Scholars
The UC Merced Office for Services for Undocumented Students annually provides the Knowledge Empowers You (KEY) Program for all new incoming undocumented scholars and their families.

The KEY Program will be virtual and presented in two parts for Scholars. A scholar need only choose one session - REMEMBER each session is in two parts on two separate days. Parent/Family Members participating in the KEY Program need only register for one 4-hour session. There is no fee for the KEY Program. To view dates and to register, please go HERE.
