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.

APPLICATION STEPS

Hurricane Michael Campaign

Student and Employee Relief Fund

Hurricane Michael created the largest financial obstacle for our students and employees in the history of our College. With homes destroyed, families scattered, and hope in short supply, we had a decision to make — And to us, the choice to support our students, our staff and our community, was the only one worth making. The Foundation immediately allocated $1.5 million to address those needs and over $1 million has been spent to date.

We are engaged in a campaign to replenish the money spent by the Foundation and to meet ongoing needs.
