HOW DO I APPLY?
Please contact the Office of the Vice President of Students at each college to get information on how to apply for a scholarship. Each scholarship has a different kind of application. Be sure to use the appropriate application form for the scholarship for which you wish to apply. You may also contact the Peralta Colleges Foundation’s Office at (510) 466-7206 to get a scholarship application.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
Scholarship criteria vary, however, most scholarships are for individuals with financial need. Scholarships are available for both full-time and part-time students. International students are welcome to apply. Some scholarships are for specific areas of study or for individuals with specific backgrounds or needs. Please see scholarship listing for details posted at each Peralta College, Office of the Vice President of Students. Applicants will be considered for all scholarships for which they are applying assuming all pertinent and required materials are included and all eligibility requirements are met.

WHERE IS THE FOUNDATION OFFICE?
Peralta Colleges Foundation is located at 333 East 8th Street, Oakland, CA 94606.

WHEN WILL I HEAR IF I HAVE RECEIVED A SCHOLARSHIP?
The colleges usually post the names of the successful applicants on the bulletin boards located in the Student Services area. Depending upon the type of the scholarship applied for, some applicants may be notified by mail by a member of the College’s Scholarship Committee or the Foundation staff after the decisions are made. No information will be given over the phone.

WHO DO I CALL IF I HAVE A QUESTION?

An application for a Peralta Colleges Foundation scholarship does not take the place of a Peralta College Financial Aid application.
