COD Scholarship Application

This program provides institutional scholarship opportunities for students attending College of the Desert. The application cycle opens at different times of the year to match students with various donor-funded opportunities. The spring application cycle specifically targets nursing students and those affiliated with the CV Pride Center, while a subsequent general application cycle opens up to the broader student body. Award funds are established by various donors and organizations associated with the college foundation, meaning eligibility criteria and individual requirements can vary. All submitted applications undergo a review and selection process based on the specific guidelines set by each contributing sponsor. Selected recipients receive email notifications with instructions on how to accept their awards, which are disbursed through the institution's third-party disbursement partner.
