Sierra College Foundation
Students Are Our Future. Invest in Them.
Sierra College Foundation is committed to aligning with Sierra College’s vision: Student success for all while closing the equity and achievement gaps. Students often struggle, and financial limitation is the biggest hurdle to student success. Help our students overcome this hurdle by donating today.
Each year, the Sierra College Foundation is able to award over $300,000 in scholarships because of your donations. To our students, this money means more than free tuition. It means more time that they are able to spend focusing on their families and their studies. Learn how you can make an impact in students' lives.Sonbol Aliabadi, Sierra College Foundation Executive Director
