General Scholarship Fund
This is a fund that accepts gifts in any amount. Scholarships from this fund are awarded bi-annually. Scholarships consist of $500 awards granted to the student based on his or her academic merit. Students must apply for a scholarship. Their application is then reviewed by a faculty and staff committee. Donors to this fund will receive copies of letters written by scholarship recipient expressing their appreciation.
How to fund a scholarship
Scholarship donors create scholarship in a wide variety of ways. These are the most common:
- Write a check to the MiraCosta College Foundation and mail it to: 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA 92056.
- Transfer appreciated stock to the MCC Foundation. This carries with it significant tax advantages. For more information on this, please contact Linda Fogerson, Executive Director, MiraCosta College Foundation at 760-795-6775 or email at lfogerson@miracosta.edu.
- Fundraise among your family and friends for a particular scholarship. The foundation will track the individuals who make gifts to the fund and let you who know who has participated in the effort.
