Applying for a Scholarship

The diverse communities we serve trust Monterey Peninsula College to educate their most precious resource: people. Through the generous gifts entrusted to us, the Foundation provides over 300 scholarships annually to MPC students and incoming high school graduates through a combination of endowed, named, and unrestricted gifts.

The most valuable gift you can give is the gift of an education. Your investment in student assistance programs opens up avenues to higher education that are out of reach for many individuals throughout our community, and lets our students know that you believe in them.

We respect the fact that you are the donor. You decide where you want your funds to help. We welcome the opportunity to work with you. 

Evans College Incentive Program

In spring 2015, the Monterey Peninsula College Foundation launched a new and exciting program for disadvantaged youth – the Howard & Karin Evans College Incentive Program. Area high schools, continuation/alternative schools, and a number of non-profit organizations were invited to nominate students to participate in this life-changing program. Nominees must have financial need and face a number of challenges in their lives that are likely to prevent them from attending or completing college.

Our first group of students enrolled at MPC in Fall 2015, receiving special resources, privileges, and significant financial assistance to encourage them to attend college.
