New Year Brings New
Scholarship Opportunities
Each year, the three colleges of the San
Mateo County Community College District -- Cañada College, College of San
Mateo, and Skyline College -- award institutional scholarships to new,
continuing, and transfer students. The scholarship awards are based on academic
achievement, financial need or specific interests such as clubs, athletics, and
service.
Funding for our scholarships comes from
contributions to San Mateo County Community Colleges Foundation. The Foundation
is the colleges' partner in promoting student success at our colleges and in
ensuring that quality, affordable higher education is available to every member
of our community. It is due to the ongoing generosity of donors since the
Foundation's inception in 1966 that many thousands of students have attended
college and realized a better life. Contributions to the Foundation are
received from many sources: individuals (including Cañada, College of San
Mateo, and Skyline alumni, faculty, and staff), businesses, civic groups,
community organizations, and other foundations. For more information about San
Mateo County Community Colleges Foundation, please visit www.smcccfoundation.org.
The 2015-16 Cañada College Scholarship
Application is now open. In order to apply for scholarships, students must
