UC Berkeley will welcome the nationally recognized College Horizons program to campus this summer, bringing more than 120 students from federally recognized tribes from across the country together for an immersive college access experience focused on admissions, financial aid, and academic opportunity.
From June 26 through July 1, 2026, Berkeley will serve as one of two host sites for College Horizons, welcoming high school sophomores and juniors who are enrolled members of federally recognized tribes. The five-day pre-college program supports students through intensive workshops, mentorship, and direct engagement with admissions representatives from more than 60 colleges and universities, helping participants build confidence and prepare for the college application and financial aid process.
For many students, the program is both academically rigorous and personally transformative. “I want others to know that College Horizons is there to help you make the future you want and the future you deserve,” said T. Moore (Hoopa Valley Tribe), a College Horizons ’25 participant. “They help you get into college and bring the right people to make that happen. It’s a hard working program so if you are willing to work hard for your community I would highly recommend this program.”
