Rising Scholars Network (RSN)
The Hartnell College Rising Scholars Program is part of the Rising Scholars Network.
Hartnell College has classes at Salinas Valley State Prison, California Training Facility
Soledad, Monterey County Jail, Juvenile Hall and the Youth Center.
Our on-campus support program for formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted students
can be found at the Main Campus, Merrill Hall, Building N. The Rising Scholars Center
is a welcoming space that promotes peer to peer networking, socializing, learning,
tutoring, relaxing, special gatherings, workshops and other fun activities. For more

The purpose of the Rising Scholars Network encourages the enrollment, retention, and
success of justice-involved students at Hartnell College through a program that provides
education and services that promote academic success. Providing this education and
support to justice-involved students serves a significant public interest, namely
reduced recidivism and reduced poverty among Californians who have been involved in
the criminal justice system.
