Donors can designate cash gifts for a particular fund, scholarship, or program; or, they can offer unrestricted gifts to support the areas of greatest need as determined by the College!

All new scholarships at Cerro Coso Community College are accepted through the Cerro Coso Community College Foundation. The College Development Director assists donors in developing a scholarship that fulfills their goals and expectations.

To be perpetual, scholarships at the College require a minimum of $5000, which may be accumulated over a two (2) year period (or longer with prior approval) from the date of the establishment of the scholarship. Perpetual scholarships award only a portion of the income from the endowment as determined by the Donor and/or the College.

If you are interested in establishing a perpetual scholarship please contact:

The Amazon Smile Program is a simple and automatic way for Amazon customers to donate to the Cerro Coso Community College Foundation every time they shop at Amazon at no additional cost to the customer. The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from eligible AmazonSmile purchases.

To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile.

On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select a charitable organization (CERRO COSO COMMUNITY COLLEGE INC) to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. AmazonSmile will remember every eligible purchase you make and your order will result in a donation.

Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization.

Donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation and are not tax deductible to you.
