Already, thousands of students throughout California have benefited from these scholarships. When the Endowment reaches its goal of $100 million by June 2011, thousands more will be able to complete their education each year thanks to this funding.
However, time is running out. Help safeguard the promise of an education for future generations by supporting the endowment. Learn more >

Thousands of California Community College students have already benefited from Osher Scholarships. Find out how this Endowment is making an impact.
 
Making History
With this fundraising effort, the California Community Colleges are charting new territory. Although Americans donate billions to higher education annually, less than 2 percent is currently given to community colleges, which enroll over 45 percent of all undergraduates.

Matching Opportunity
The Scholarship Endowment campaign began May 2008 with the announcement of a $25 million lead gift from The Bernard Osher Foundation. The Osher Foundation has pledged a second $25 million to provide a 50 percent match for additional funds raised through June 2011.
