Future Connect at PSU

PCC’s Future Connect program is a personalized coaching and scholarship program for students who identify as first-generation or low-income. Future Connect eliminates barriers to college and helps students build pathways to their futures.

PSU welcomes all Future Connect students to our campus! The Transfer and Returning Student Resource Center serves as a landing space for all Future Connect students that are either incoming or current transfer students at PSU. Our PSU Future Connect team is here to connect you with resources, support, and a sense of community throughout your journey at PSU.

Were you a part of the Future Connect Program, or are you currently at Portland Community College intending to transfer to PSU? Complete the Future Connect: Next Step PSU Interest Form to opt-in to receive communications from PSU's Future Connect Team and the TRSRC.
