Unmatched Gratitude

"My wife and I will be welcoming our first child this coming November and this scholarship will help me feel relief that I can provide for my family while still attending school."

"Getting a better computer will make editing film or video less of a hassle since the one I currently own is very slow. I will be getting a portable computer to not just edit on the go but to take better notes when attending lectures."

About Desert Scholarship Foundation

The Members of The Lakes Partner with Desert Scholarship Foundation

In 2016, Desert Scholarship Foundation was formed to administer and manage customized scholarship programs to advance our community's greatest asset—its people!

Each scholarship fund operates under the umbrella of Desert Scholarship Foundation’s IRS tax exemption and 501(c)(3) designation. We keep scholarship funds separate from all others managed by our organization- ensuring every dollar donated is gifted to the people each donor wants to help.

Desert Scholarship Foundation also manages the scholarship grant process from start to finish:

  • Determine annual eligibility criteria and score applications based on the customized criteria and a variety of information collected from each student such as letters of recommendation, grades, extracurricular involvement and future plans.
  • Provide an objective and non-discriminatory application review and award determination process which includes analyzing each student’s financial aid package.
  • Programs designed to eliminate unmet need, or the gap between a student’s costs and financial resources for school.

Students can apply for scholarships towards junior college, two or four-year college, trade school or certificate programs or vocational-technical schools in the United States wherein a degree or certificate of completion can be earned. Many of our partners also support programs that help with other educational pursuits such adult education towards High School and General Education Development diplomas, learning English as a second language and providing back-to-school supplies for students in Kinder through 12th grade.
