Foundation Scholarships

Investing in Your Future, Together

At Glen Oaks Community College, we believe cost should never be a barrier to opportunity. That’s why the Glen Oaks Foundation offers a wide range of scholarships to support students like you—whether you're starting college for the first time, returning as an adult learner, or preparing to transfer to a four-year university.

These scholarships consider more than just grades. Selection often includes a mix of academic achievement, financial need, community involvement, and your career goals. Many scholarships can be used to cover tuition, books, supplies, and other education-related expenses.
