ASPIRA CENTER

The Merritt College ASPIRA Center provides support, resources, information and referrals for all Dreamers, undocumented, AB 540, and DACA students and allies in a safe and confidential environment. All are welcome here. You are not alone. We’re in this together. We are here to support you. 

We will continue to provide online services and support to students while our office is closed due to COVID-19.

At Merritt College, we recognize the dignity and value of the individual and continuously strive to provide opportunities for all those who seek an education. As advocates for the creation and maintenance of a safe place that supports education for all members of our community, we created this website as a resource for undocumented students, their families, and their allies.

En Merritt College, reconocemos la dignidad y el valor de la persona y nos esforzamos continuamente por brindar oportunidades a todos aquellos que buscan una educación.
