Golden West College (GWC) offers several scholarship opportunities for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. The GWC Foundation Scholarship is a primary option, providing financial aid to eligible students based on academic achievement, financial need, or extracurricular involvement. Applications typically open in spring for the following academic year.
External scholarships, such as the Cal Grant or Pell Grant, are also accessible to GWC students. Additionally, departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, like STEM or arts. Students should check the GWC financial aid website for deadlines and eligibility criteria. Completing the FAFSA or CA Dream Act application is often required.
