Funded by the Pasadena Community Foundation and supported by College Access Plan (CAP) and PCC Pathways, the PCF Scholars Program offers need-based financial assistance and long-term mentoring. Scholars receive help with tuition-related expenses, access to emergency funds, and guidance from counselors and coaches. Success is defined not only by timely graduation or transfer, but also by persistence, progression, and motivation to set and meet goals.
To be considered for the PCF Scholars Program, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Be a graduating senior at a PUSD high school
- Be an active participant in College Access Plan or MPYD
- Planning to enroll full-time at PCC in the fall
- Have a minimum overall high school GPA of 2.0 or higher
