We Are The

Gulf Coast State College Foundation.

Since 1967, the Gulf Coast State College Foundation has supported Gulf Coast State College’s strategic initiatives by providing funding for student scholarships and programs. The mission of the Foundation is to remove financial barriers that obstruct student access to education. Scholarships celebrate academic excellence while assisting those students for whom financial support is a necessity.

This could not be possible without the continued investment from our community. Our donors help ease the pressure placed on our students and advance the future through the promise of education.

Ways to Give

Getting Money for College Has Never Been Easier

The Foundation will begin its 2022-2023 scholarship application cycle on December 1st. This is the first time GCSC students and prospective students can access the Foundation scholarship application and start the process of applying for fall 2022 and spring 2023 scholarship awards. Our general application is very simple to complete and will have two essay questions to answer. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2022. The amount awarded per scholarship will be announced in April or May.

GUARANTEED MONEY

Right now, high school graduates from Bay, Franklin and Gulf County can get $700 a semester in scholarship funds, regardless of whether you receive any other financial aid.

PLANNED GIVING

Naming the Gulf Coast State College Foundation as a beneficiary in your estate plan allows you to influence and touch the future by enriching the lives of generations of students.

A planned gift is a contribution that is intentionally designed to give the maximum benefits to you, your family, and the organization you choose to benefit.
