Scholarships
Invest in Student Success
Creating a scholarship is a meaningful way to leave an imprint on our community. Long after scholarship recipients graduate from college and builds their lives and careers, they remember those who invested in their future.
A scholarship at Bishop State more than doubles a student’s likelihood to graduate. However you choose to establish your legacy at Bishop State, we are here to help. We will meet with you and tailor a scholarship to match your philanthropic vision. You can customize your scholarship by choosing to help students in a specific program of study, demographic background, or career goal.
