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
Endowed Scholarships require a minimum $10,000 donation and are invested to produce at least one $500 scholarship annually in perpetuity with the Foundation receiving a 2% annual administrative fee from the annual return.

Donate to an Existing Scholarship
Your gift to an existing scholarship can help increase the number of students receiving a scholarship each year, increase the amount of the award, and even help fund the transition of an annual scholarship to an endowed scholarship. Consider giving to one of the highlighted existing scholarships below or if you know the scholarship you'd like help fund follow the directions below.
