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.
