    About this scholarship

    This scholarship program is designed for California community college students who are already receiving the California College Promise Grant. Because tuition costs are already covered by state waivers, these funds are specifically intended to help students pay for other essential educational expenses.

The program is administered by Compton College in accordance with guidelines from the Bernard Osher Foundation and the Foundation for California Community Colleges. Awards are subject to funding availability and students must continue to meet all eligibility requirements to remain qualified. Selected recipients may be asked to submit a thank-you letter to the foundation.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
