choose who you want to help
pick criteria for the scholarship based on your interests

You can establish a scholarship in just two steps:

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Scholarship
Complete a form that will detail all the guidelines for your scholarship.

Step 2: Fund Your Scholarship
Scholarships range greatly with a minimum award of $500 and no maximum award. Our scholarship cycle opens in December each year, and scholarships must be funded by November in order to be available to students. Donations may be made via check, cash, or credit card.
- To donate by check: Please make payable to: Mesa College Foundation, and list the name of your scholarship in the notes section.
- To donate via credit card: After you complete Step 1,contact the Office of Resource Development by emailing both dsolares@sdccd.edu and kstellmacher@sdccd.edu to be provided a unique link to give to your scholarship.
