Scholarships
The Donor Program
Thank
you. . .
Your interest in establishing a scholarship at Glendale
Community College is appreciated.
As college costs continue to rise, scholarship assistance is
increasingly important to students who are dedicated to completing their
education. Here at Glendale College, 40 percent of students rely on some
type of financial aid and more than 75 percent have jobs, with more than
half working 30-40 hours a week. Your contribution can make a real
difference to a deserving student by paying for tuition, books, fees or
other school expenses.
Why establish a scholarship?
To assist financially needy students
To memorialize a loved one
To honor a family member or friend on a special occasion
To help students pursue specific majors or careers
To help students continue their studies at GCC
To help students transfer to 4-year universities
What types of scholarships are
suggested?
Perpetual/Endowed
You can establish a scholarship fund with the college and maintain
an account balance that enables us to generate enough income to finance
your annual award. Perpetual/Endowed scholarships are invested through
the GCC Scholarship Fund or the Glendale College Foundation Endowment.
The Glendale College Foundation offers matching funds for
Perpetual/Endowed scholarships, and GCC also receives grants that
provide matching funds for specific types of scholarships.
Annual
You can invest funds on your own and send a contribution to the
college when it is time to award your scholarship each year.
How are scholarships managed?
The colleges Scholarship Office administers all scholarship files and
accounts, and coordinates the selection and award processes.
What are the criteria?
All GCC students who have completed at least 12 units of credit at GCC
and are in good academic standing are eligible to apply for
scholarships. Scholarships are also available for graduating high school
seniors who plan to enroll at GCC. You can establish additional
eligibility and selection criteria for your scholarship to fit your
preferences.
Who chooses recipients?
Scholarship recipients are typically selected by individual sponsors,
the GCC Scholarship Committee or by faculty members who teach in
specific academic majors or disciplines.
When and how are scholarships
awarded?
Scholarships and grants are awarded during the fall and spring
semesters. Sponsors traditionally present their scholarships personally,
at awards banquets or at organizational meetings.
