Golden West College Foundation

Each year, the Golden West College Foundation awards hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to GWC students. We have awarded millions of dollars in scholarships since the inception of the GWC Foundation. We are proud of our ability to financially assist students to achieve their goals and dreams. After our students graduate from Golden West College, many of our former students have provided significant economic benefits to our surrounding community. Over the course of their lifetime, our students are one of the highest earners in the state for community colleges. They make two times the state average and three times the national average for community college graduates. An investment in our students is an investment in our local economy.

The Golden West College Foundation has actively engaged our community to provide our instructional and student programs with resources to complement our excellent educational curriculum. We have provided patient simulators for our Nursing students and automobiles for our automotive technology program. The support from the community has made these programs leaders in these fields.
