Supporting honors education and helping California community college students transfer to colleges and universities nationwide.
Scholarships
As an honors student, you are eligible for a number of scholarship opportunities. A few are listed here.
Jack Kent Cooke Foundation College Scholarships
The Cooke Foundation’s Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship is a highly selective scholarship for the nation’s top community college students seeking to complete their bachelor’s degrees at selective four-year colleges and universities. Each Cooke Scholar has access to generous financial support for two to three years, multifaceted advising, career and graduate school preparation, and the opportunity to connect with the thriving community of fellow Cooke Scholars.
The deadline to apply is early January, but you should start the process early, as there are recommendation letters, transcripts, and other portions that need to be completed. Starting in October or November is not too early! Access the application via the Common App. https://www.jkcf.org/our-scholarships/undergraduate-transfer-scholarship/how-to-apply/ . ​​​

​Gilman International Scholarship (Study Abroad)
The Gilman Scholarship Program is open to U.S. citizen undergraduate students who are planning to study abroad. The program aims to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and the countries and regions where they go by supporting undergraduates who might otherwise not participate due to financial constraints.
The Foundation expects to award 50 scholarships of up to $7500 and 50 honorable mentions to sophomore and junior level college students committed to working towards solutions for environmental problems or to issues impacting Native Americans. Students must be nominated for this award.
