Scholarships (Student Services)

Scholarship Funding

Scholarships are made available through the generous donations of Coastline Community College's Foundation, Student Advisory Council (SAC), faculty, staff, businesses, community organizations, and private individuals. Scholarship recipients are selected by the Scholarship Awards Committee. Members include administrators, classified staff, faculty, students, and a College Foundation board member.

In addition to our Coastline scholarships, we receive announcements of scholarship offerings from external or outside organizations. A notebook listing these opportunities is available to review at the Admissions counter at our Fountain Valley College Center.

Coastline Community College is not responsible for the application or awards process for these outside scholarships. Please phone or write to each organization directly for details.
