Apply for a college support grant
from the foundation
The Foundation for Grossmont & Cuyamaca Colleges is pleased to offer College Support Grants for the 2021-22 academic year. Grants between $500 - $1,000 may be available to support excellent programs at our colleges that have a direct impact on our students. Preference will be given to student-centric initiatives in the online space.
Applications must demonstrate how the funds will have an impact on the education of our students or their experience at the college. Grants may be used for costs such as speakers, films, educational/cultural performances, equipment and software, course field trips, printing for student materials, books for special programs to benefit students, event costs for student-related programs, teaching materials, or professional development.
The grant application provides additional information about eligibility and the form to submit to seek a grant.

  • Cheryl Hinton, adjunct associate professor, Ethnic, Gender and Social Justice/Anthropology, Grossmont College:
I got the Pfizer vaccine through Sharp Grossmont. My first dose was a briefly sore inoculation site. The second dose was on a Monday and I wish that I'd done it on a Thursday due to classes. Unlike my husband's mild reaction, I was in bed for two days with body aches, fatigue and chills. Still, I'm glad for that manageable reaction and would do it again gladly rather than have COVID-19. Everyone reacts differently. Thank you science!

I received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccination March 5 at a drive-thru vaccination site at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. At the drive-thru site, the line was somewhat long, snaking through the parking lot for about 30 minutes. I was asked for an ID and proof of eligibility. I presented my GCCCD paystub. I had a mild headache and sore arm the day of the vaccination. I'm looking forward to my second dose!
