Peralta Foundation Scholarships 

Community colleges have long provided a gateway to higher education, but that gateway has become more difficult to access. Costs to attend community college have doubled since 2006.

A student who enrolled full time in a community college will pay an estimated $1,500 per semester for fees, books and supplies that go beyond tuition. The students who attend the Peralta Colleges tend to be low-income, with at approximately 70 percent qualifying for financial assistance, but this assistance falls short of making a college education affordable for many. 

Gifts from alumni, employees, committed citizens, corporations and foundations help many students lacking financial resources achieve their educational and career goals.

We have 100+ scholarship funds created by friends, family and faculty of Peralta Colleges, as well as community partners who are passionate about building the next generation of workforce leaders.
