Community Involvement Program (CIP) is a scholarship and retention program for first-generation college students from the Stockton community who have demonstrated the potential for sustainable leadership, community awareness, and involvement.

CIP was established in 1969 to provide educational opportunities to the local community and diversify the University of the Pacific campus. More than 1,000 students have graduated from the program.

The program provides access to college for low-income students along with a wide range of support for CIP Scholars as they pursue higher education. Some of the benefits of CIP include the following:
