Summer Algebra Institute

The California State University (CSU), Office of the Chancellor is pleased to offer the 2025 CSU Summer Algebra Institute (SAI), a five-week in-person math enrichment program for rising 6th–10th grade students. Participants will learn skills and techniques to improve their knowledge of mathematics and quantitative reasoning. The SAI program aligns with CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025 goals that aim to increase graduation rates for all CSU students while eliminating equity gaps.


 


One primary goal of the program is to positively improve college readiness, particularly in mathematics and quantitative reasoning ability. Credentialed instructors will teach the course content with EdReady curriculum, an adaptive online application for math readiness that designs a personalized learning path to fill students’ knowledge gaps. In addition, students will participate in team learning activities, STEAM projects, “college knowledge” workshops and in-person CSU campus tours.

Approved 2025 SAI sites will receive the following support:

  • $30,000 in funding for qualified sites
  • Program administration training for site coordinators and math instructors
  • Learning community check-ins via webinar/conference calls to support successful program outcomes
  • Support from the Office of the Chancellor to partner with local CSU campuses

Improving college readiness requires effective partnerships with community organizations and faith-based allies, and the CSU Office of the Chancellor is excited to announce 20 host site locations for the 2025 SAI Program across the state of California.
