Peninsula College Fund
A four-year renewable scholarship plus a trained mentor, career training, and internship support for low-income, first-generation graduating seniors.
The Peninsula College Fund combines money and social capital: eligible graduating seniors receive a renewable scholarship covering all four years of college, a trained college-educated mentor, intensive workshops on navigating college and careers, and summer internship support with employer partners and stipends. It serves low-income, first-generation college students and is selective, focused on the transition into and through college. The 2026 application deadline (February 6) has passed — students in the class of 2027 should watch for the next cycle in the fall or winter.
