In the last five years, the Peralta Colleges Foundation has awarded over $900,000 in scholarships to the industrious & talented students at Peralta Community Colleges – Berkeley City College, College of Alameda, Laney College and Merritt College. 

The Foundation manages scholarships that are pivotal in creating meaningful opportunities for students of all ages, including helping undocumented, underprivileged and homeless students achieve their dreams. Funding for our scholarships comes from contributions to Peralta Colleges Foundation which ensures that quality, affordable higher education is available to every member of our community.
