Make a lifetime impact on students and their families through the SMC scholarship program




Create A Scholarship
Named scholarships are a meaningful way to support Santa Monica College students and honor or memorialize another special individual. If you want to create a scholarship you can choose from two different options:
Annual Scholarship
Annual scholarships are awarded a single time. Donations to annual scholarships are a minimum of $1,000 donation with a 4% administrative fee required (minimum $1,040). The funds are not invested and are completely distributed in the next available annual scholarship cycle.

Endowed Scholarship
