San Diego Foundation announced Tuesday it awarded a record-breaking $4 million in scholarships to more than 1,000 local college students to expand access and opportunity to students, many of whom are the first in their families to attend college and from low-middle income communities historically under-represented in higher education.
Programs throughout the county benefit
Since it launched its Expanded Learning programs in 2021, the foundation has awarded more than $31 million in grants to 176 nonprofit partners.
The San Diego Foundation is donating $500,000 in grant funding to 10 local, nonprofit groups to improve access to quality care, including child care, mental and behavioral services, according to a news release Friday.
