The Compact for Success Guarantees Students Admission to SDSU through meeting the Compact Admissions Requirements
The Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) has extended the renewal agreement of the Compact for Success Program with San Diego State University (SDSU). District Superintendent Dr. Moises Aguirre, SDSU President Adela de la Torre, State Assembly member David Alvarez and Southwestern College officials recently met for a ceremonial and celebratory signing of the Compact memorandum of understanding. Through this exclusive agreement, now through 2030, the partnerships’ goal is to increase the number of Sweetwater District students who enroll and graduate from SDSU.
The Compact established in 2000, guarantees admission to four-year SUHSD students while developing student engagement and promoting higher graduation rates. SUHSD and SDSU collaborate to provide outreach and education to students and families in the district through various mentoring, workshops, assemblies, and campus visits.
“The Sweetwater District is honored to celebrate the renewal of the Compact for Success with San Diego State University,” said Sweetwater District Superintendent Dr. Moises G. Aguirre. “ For over 20 years this agreement has been a pathway for thousands of students in Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach, and South San Diego to access higher education through SDSU. Sweetwater looks forward to continue this collaboration through the year 2030 and beyond, so that our students can continue to strive to achieve their educational goals at SDSU.”
Since 2006, 7,574 students have gained admission to SDSU via the Compact – a large majority first generation high school graduates from underrepresented minority groups, and more than half becoming the first in their families to obtain a bachelor’s degree.
“We are committed to Chula Vista and the South Bay,” said SDSU President Adela de la Torre. “The local border region represents a critical inflection point for our transborder university, bringing together student access with economic development and binational collaboration.”
Esther Rodriguez, Chula Vista High School Alumni Class of 2008, and SDSU Class of 2013, is now the Transfer Outreach and Student Success Coordinator for SDSU. When asked what the Compact Program means to her, Rodriguez shared, “The Compact for Success Program ultimately made college accessible to me. As a first-generation graduate, being a part of the Compact introduced me to a university environment, where I was able to see people that look like me and came from same community as me be successful and earn their degree. I’m excited that more students will have the opportunity to take advantage of this great opportunity.”
