The Kennedy-King Memorial College Scholarship Fund

Founded in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the fund was created to give opportunities to under represented minority students attending or coming from one of the three Contra Costa County Community Colleges.  We have awarded over $7.25 million in scholarships to 1,312 students since 1968.  This includes undergraduate, graduate and Regalia scholarships.
