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

Scholarships are a Click Away!

The Foundation's Cycle 2/2nd Chance Scholarship application cycle will begin on May 15th and end on July 15th. Applications are open to all students attending or planning to attend Gulf Coast State College in the fall. Preference will be given to individuals who missed applying for Foundation scholarships in March and/or who are currently on a waiting list. All applicants must submit a general scholarship application and then complete a separate application. For more information, please go to the scholarships section.

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.
