Scholarships #

Mesa College and the Mesa College Foundation collaborate to make scholarships accessible to all of our students regardless of major, GPA, course load, or citizenship/immigration status. Thanks to our generous donors and supporters, Mesa Scholarship Team has been able to create a free and easy way for our Mesa students to access hundreds of scholarship opportunities through one application.

The application period begins early December and ends mid-February annually. Scholarship awardees, donors, and other Mesa community members are invited to the Annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony to celebrate their hard work and achievements.

Apply for Scholarships #

With hundreds of scholarship awards ranging from $250-$5,000, we encourage all currently enrolled Mesa College students to apply. With one general application, students can apply to as many scholarships as they wish. Students may be awarded up to three scholarships to cover the costs of tuition, books, and additional educational expenses.

There is a scholarship for everyone. Mesa College Foundation Scholarships include a wide variety of programs -- there are scholarships for specific majors and career paths, basic needs, LGBTQ+, kindness, single-parents, specific ethnic and racial populations, DSPS students, EOPS students, academic achievements, community service, leadership and more.
