Cabrillo College Foundation

Scholarships - Cabrillo is designed to give students an on-ramp to post-secondary education - an education that provides potential to build a better life. The Cabrillo College Foundation helps by easing the financial barrier to attend college. We awarded $1,462,312 in scholarships to help students make ends meet. Through our Women's Educational Success program we put up to $1,000 in the hands of students with an unexpected expense usually in a few days!

Donations to Cabrillo College Foundation are investments in the human potential of our students and the wider community we serve. The Cabrillo College Foundation helps by providing student support at every level. Faculty Innovation: we award money to faculty and staff who innovate ways to improve the classroom experience. Cabrillo Advancement Program: beginning with the first year of middle school and continuing through high school, over 350 CAP students receive after school tutoring, counseling and extra-curricular activities that help them see college as a real choice. Tutoring: we support peer to peer tutoring for greater student success. Student Support Services: for special populations such as veterans and former foster youth. The foundation also provides support to over 100 college programs and departments such as engineering, nursing, visual and performing arts, athletics, and the Stroke Center.
