Governor Applauds 70 Million Donation to Community Colleges

The California Community Colleges Scholarship Endowment supports student success and opportunity by creating a permanent fund for scholarships, offering long-term relief to the rising costs that keep many students from completing their education.

Launched on May 6, 2008, by a generous $50 million commitment from The Bernard Osher Foundation—the largest gift ever made to a community college system—and spearheaded by the California Community Colleges and the Foundation for California Community Colleges, this effort includes an historic three-year matching fundraising campaign to create a $100 million endowment that will touch the lives of thousands of Community College students each year, safeguarding the promise of an education for future generations.
