If you wish your donations to go directly to deserving students, consider a gift to an existing scholarship fund, or establish a scholarship fund to honor someone of your choice. A scholarship gift is a tremendous help to Cabrillo students, who often must combine college responsibilities with a very full work schedule. Private donations to the Cabrillo College Foundation fund all Cabrillo College scholarships. The Cabrillo College Foundation establishes scholarship policies, and the Cabrillo Scholarship Office coordinates the awards process. For the 2005-2006 academic year, Cabrillo awarded 490 scholarships valued at over $275,000. Our goal is to award at least $500 to every recipient. We award General Scholarships, Campus Area Scholarships, and Scholarships for High School Seniors.
General scholarships are offered to current Cabrillo students who are enrolled in at least 9 units and have a 3.0 GPA or better. Applications are available fall semester. Awards are announced in December. Complete information is available at the Cabrillo Scholarship Office. Campus Area Scholarships are awarded to students in specific program areas such as art, nursing, computer science, or history. Donors can work with the Cabrillo College Foundation staff to establish the criteria for area scholarships that fulfill their intentions. The selection of recipients is carried out by the academic departments. Scholarships for High School Seniors Private donors have established special awards for outstanding local high school seniors. Awards are advertised at surrounding high school counseling offices. These scholarships illustrate the various ways donors have chosen to fund a scholarship gift. The families of Sol Alexander, Edith Fikes, and John T. and Ruth Mallery endowed the Outstanding High School Seniors Scholarship. Students receive $750 a year for the two years they attend Cabrillo, and an additional $1,000 a year when they transfer to a four-year institution. The Leoni Scholarships, funded by the estate of Albert Leoni, allow the foundation to annually award two-year scholarships for first time Cabrillo students. During fall semester each year, recipients receive a $500 stipend. The Ow family has created the American Dream Scholarships, which are awarded to ethnic minority high school students in Santa Cruz County who will be attending Cabrillo. Each recipient receives $500. About twenty-five students are selected each year. For more information about funding a scholarship, contact |
