JUNE 2024 NEWSLETTER

Read about our transition to digital communication, learn about ongoing Pell Grant challenges, meet our newest board members, and hear from our students.

Since 1965 we have helped 860 financially-disadvantaged students achieve their goal of a college education.

Grant recipients receive $1,200 per year. Once a student is selected, remains academically qualified, continues to receive a Pell grant, and continues to carry 12 or more hours, that student is supported until he or she receives a maximum of $4,800 or completes a bachelor's degree, whichever comes first.

Make a donation.

The College Fund of Pinellas County, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization run entirely by volunteers. We raise money in order to help financially disadvantaged Pinellas County residents who have excellent scholastic potential, but insufficient funds to obtain a bachelor’s degree and thereby improve themselves, their family’s living standard, and their role in the community.

100% of the donations from the public are used to support students.

We have no paid employees. The financial contributions from our Directors and Advisors exceed our administrative costs for printing, mailings, an annual independent financial review, State and Federal fees, and other miscellaneous items.

Let’s stay in touch.

Enter your contact information in the form to be added to our email lists. Be sure to select the box that best describes you.
