Mammoth Lakes Foundation

The Foundation awarded 69 scholarships in the fall and spring semseters. Over 678 students have received scholarships since the program was started.the Foundation continues to work with community organizations and the college as to future land use and facilities. The next project the community would like to see developed is a cultural center, expanded theater, and new arts programs. Planning and visioning is why we have a college in Mammoth Lakes. It is essential to continue this process which often takes years before the next project can become a reality.

Currently, the ski museum has limited exhibits as most of the exhibit space has been converted to theater use. Two rooms display old Mammoth Lakes photos and one tells a story about how the area was developed.
