President's Scholars

At Cal Poly Pomona, the President’s Scholars program honors the brightest and most dedicated students, those who excel academically, lead with integrity and give back to their communities. Since 1983, this prestigious scholarship has recognized over 500 outstanding undergraduate and graduate students across all eight academic colleges. These scholars are more than high achievers; they are mentors, volunteers and future changemakers committed to making a difference.

The President’s Scholars program is supported by a long-standing endowed fund established through the generosity of dedicated donors. Annual gifts from donors like you help sustain and strengthen this tradition of excellence.

Each year, donor support helps provide $3,500 scholarships to exceptional students, easing financial burdens so they can focus on their education and service. By giving today, you are investing in the next generation of leaders who will shape our communities for the better. Join us in empowering these remarkable students!
