The Peninsula College Fund
We make college completion a reality for motivated low-income students who are the first generation in their family to attend college. Our select local scholars receive college scholarships, one-to-one mentors, college success workshops, and internship support throughout their college careers. Since our inception in 2005, The Peninsula College Fund has defied the odds: more than 95% of our scholars have graduated from college or currently attend college on the path to completion. Nationally, only half of first generation college students complete four-year colleges in six years.
