You can help students pursue their educational, career and personal goals through a college scholarship. We manage a variety of scholarship funds which help students throughout Monterey County fulfill their potential.
We manage more than 70 named scholarship funds, with a total value of more than $8.2 million. Each year, these funds award approximately $1.5 million to more than 400 students.
I was looking for a way to give back to my hometown in a permanent, personal way. I thought one of the best ways would be through establishing a scholarship. Education can help a lot of these kids.
Our scholarship funds are established by individuals, families, and businesses who recognize the value of education and want to extend a helping hand for upcoming college students. Many people start funds to memorialize a loved one or support students in a certain field of study. Others entrust us with the responsibility of finding and selecting students with the highest need and potential to succeed in higher education.
College Futures Monterey County is a CFMC scholarship program designed to help low-income students in Monterey County achieve their educational and career goals. It combines need-based scholarships with college success services to help students get to and through the college of their choice. Please join us to learn about ways you can help deserving young people fulfill their dreams of earning a college degree — and change the future of our region.
Students may apply for a number of scholarships through our online scholarship application system. Several other scholarships have separate applications. Applications open in January.
We have collected resources from many trusted sources to help students, parents and educators to plan for college. You’ll find information about planning your courses, identifying colleges that match your interests, applying for admission and financial aid and understanding your options for affording college.
