Scholarships

Welcome to the San Diego City College Scholarships Page

Applying to scholarships may help offset the cost of college and can be used toward a variety of educational costs throughout the school year.

Osher Scholarship

The Osher Scholarship have been made possible by a generous commitment from The Bernard Osher Foundation, which donated $25 Million to the Foundation for California Community Colleges to establish an endowment to provide permanenet scholarship support to California Community College Students. Thanks to the generous commitment, San Diego City College will be able to award scholarships to students, like you, ever year. 

The Osher Foundation established this endowment to support students who have demonstrated a commitment to completing their education and have certian financial ahardships that make it difficult to pay for the cost of attending college. This scholarship is intended to help you reach your educational goals and can be applied toward any education-related cots, including textbooks, lab fees, uniforms, and any other fees associated with your studies. 

You must be enrolled and maintain enrollment in at least one class at San Diego City College. If you met enrollment requirments, your scholarship will be provided in two payments. Your award payments will be made available after we have completed your  verification of enrollment for the Fall and semesters using financial aid enrollment status date.

The Osher Scholarship Deadline has been extended to  August 18, 2024
