¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ

For almost 60 years, many supporters of ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Coast College and our students have generously contributed scholarships to ensure that students, who otherwise might not be able to complete their education, can do so successfully. Donors include:

• Alumni and community members
• Service organizations
• Businesses
• College staff, faculty, and students

Scholarships can be endowed or funded on an annual basis or your donation can be pooled in our General Scholarship Fund.  The following is a list of the types of scholarships that may be established:

1. Endowed scholarships are invested in the ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Foundation's endowment portfolio. Only the interest, dividends, and gains are awarded to students. These scholarships are awarded annually in perpetuity.  At the present time, an endowment of $15,000 will provide a $750 scholarship each year -- enough for tuition and fees as well as help in purchasing books and supplies for one semester.  Each endowed scholarship is held in a separate audited account managed by the ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Coast College Foundation.
2. Annual scholarships allow all the funds you deposit in the ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Coast College Foundation to be awarded as a scholarship, usually in the same fiscal year as the gift is received. To continue awarding the scholarship from year to year, annual contributions must be made.
3. Endowment-builder scholarships allow donors to create an endowed scholarship through a series of annual contributions.
4. One-time scholarships are awarded in the year they are received. Typically, these scholarships are donated in memory of someone who has recently passed away or in honor of a special occasion.

5. Pooled scholarships allow you to contribute to the General Scholarship Fund. There is no minimum amount for this contribution. Your donation will be co-mingled with other moneys and awarded by the College Scholarship Committee.
