Help Support Student Scholarships

Estrella Mountain Community College, in partnership with organizations from our community, hosts several opportunities during the year to raise funds for student scholarships.  One of these opportunities is the Annual Car Raffle Scholarship Fundraiser. Managed by the Estrella Rotary Foundation, and in partnership with Estrella Mountain Community College, this unique project generates close to $75,000 a year towards student scholarships.  More than 420 scholarships have been given to West Valley students as a result of this effort since its inception in 1999.  In addition, a portion of the funds raised are dedicated to the college's endowed scholarship fund for future students.  For more details on how you can participate visit: www.driveforsuccess.org.
 
On Saturday, April 3, Estrella Mountain Community College, in partnership with the Hispanic Leadership Forum del Oeste, will co-host a Scholarship Golf Tournament at the beautiful Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa. Individual tickets are $125, with foursomes ranging from $500 - $2,500. To sign up to play, please contact Carol Stevens at 623-935-8050.

This year, honorees from Estrella Mountain will include an organization/business that is an avid supporter of the community college system, a distinguished alumnus, as well as a dedicated student advocate.
