At Golden West College, we believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of education.
Thanks to the support of generous donors, the GWC Foundation provides hundreds of scholarships each year to help students succeed and reach their goals. All actively enrolled students at Golden West College are eligible to apply.
Scholarships are awarded based upon a combination of financial need, academic achievement and community, campus or family contributions.
The GWC scholarship application opens January 5, 2026 - March 1, 2026 at 11:59 pm. Applying is Free and available by visiting the website below: https://goldenwestcollege.academicworks.com/
*There may be additional requirements based on each scholarship
* Students who are selected for a scholarship will receive an email in late April notifying them of the Scholarship Recognition Ceremony event details and are required to accept the award through the online scholarship portal, draft their thank you note to the scholarship donor(s), and RSVP for the event. This date is subject to change.*
(In collaboration with the Tutoring and Learning Center)
During the annual Scholarships Reception held at Golden West College both students and donors are recognized for their commitment to academic achievement as well as civic and educational involvement.
