What we do

 We give $10,000 college scholarships to students from minority groups underrepresented at California's four-year colleges and universities. These scholars are experiencing financial need, and have demonstrated academic success at one of the three community colleges in Contra Costa County 

  We offer $5,000 scholarships for graduate studies, available to previous recipients of our undergraduate scholarships 

 We provide $1,000 one-time scholarships to current EOPS students attending one of the Contra Costa Community Colleges.  These scholars have encountered financial difficulties and may be hindered from getting their associate degree without this assistance.  

Each year in May, we host a special awards celebration to recognize the scholars receiving our college and graduate school scholarships. 

Each board member is assigned one or more of our college or graduate school scholars to work with them through the academic year. 

We welcome internship or job opportunities to help our scholars launch their professional careers.
