Ohlone College Foundation presents:
HOSTS – Helping One Student To Succeed.
One Student.
One Scholarship.
One Semester.
One Success Story.
Investing in education is an investment in everyone’s future. As the state budget continues to falter, it is more and more difficult for students to bear the full cost of their education without some help. Enter HOSTS – a scholarship program that allows donors to help a student afford college without demanding a large financial commitment from the donor.
A HOSTS donor commits to one amount, $500 to help one student through one semester. The scholarship bears the donor’s name. And each donor has an opportunity to meet the student they sponsor. There is no obligation beyond the initial HOSTS scholarship donation.
There is no limit to the potential achievements of one student receiving and education. Invest in HOSTS, help one student to succeed…and make a difference.
Did You Know…
…a single contribution of $500 to Ohlone College Foundation HOSTS scholarship program will provide one full-time Ohlone College student with a full semester of tuition, with a little left over for books and supplies. By signing up for HOSTS your donation can reap great rewards.
and, Did You Know…
…most community college students work at least part-time in addition to attending college. This reduces graduation rates as students take more time to get through school. Supplementing their costs for school with a $500 donation allows them time to focus on their studies and reduces their stress!

Notes from Ohlone College Foundation Scholarship Recipients
“Attending college is something I never thought I could do—I lacked the confidence and the financial ability to attempt college. But thanks to your scholarship I have been able to embark on a new chapter in my life.”
“Being at Ohlone has been one of the best experiences of my life. I gained a sense of direction that I lacked before. Thanks to this scholarship I am one step farther along on my journey of self-discovery.”
“Being a first generation college student, especially a college graduate, means more to me than I can possibly describe. Having this scholarship assists me in my goals of being able to finish college and graduate with honors and then go on to have a successful career.”
The HOSTS Scholarship Program: A local economic stimulus package that can really make a difference!
