Our Opportunities
Welcome to the Online Scholarship System of Gavilan College! If you have not done so, please login using your username and password. **Please note, in order to apply for scholarships, you must have applied to Gavilan and obtained a Gavilan ID number and password. Click here to apply for admission application: https://www.opencccapply.net/uPortal/f/u63l1s1000/normal/render.uP
To view a list of all scholarship opportunities, you may click “Ours”, “External”, or “Recommended” under the “Opportunities” tab above. These lists show all available scholarships, not scholarships for which you are receiving consideration. Automatch scholarships will appear with “None” listed under the “Actions” column – this means an additional application is not required for consideration. The “Deadline” column indicates the deadline to complete the application to receive consideration. This is not the deadline to accept the award.
The 2025-2026 Gavilan General Scholarship Application is now available.
STEP 1: Complete and SUBMIT the General Application. You can edit or update your application up until 11:59pm on the stated scholarship deadlines.
STEP 2: After submitting the General Application, you will be presented with a list of “Recommended scholarship opportunities.” These scholarships may require additional information that is not included in the questions on the General Application. You are encouraged to click on each scholarship to review the criteria. We encourage you to apply for all scholarships where you meet the additional requirements. (There are some scholarship opportunities you do not have to apply to, but will be automatically matched to after you complete your General Application.)
We also strongly encourage all students to apply for External scholarship opportunities offered by private organizations outside of Gavilan by clicking Opportunities/External above.
