University Legacy Scholars Program
The University Legacy Scholars Program offers a four-year scholarship covering full tuition and fees for an undergraduate degree at the Palm Desert Campus (PDC). This initiative is designed for deserving local students who graduate from high schools in the following districts:
- Coachella Valley Unified
- Desert Sands Unified
- Palm Springs Unified School Districts
- Accredited private and online schools in the area
Significant Benefits
The program provides substantial benefits, including:
- Alleviating the financial burden of higher education for selected scholars
- Encouraging the region's brightest to pursue their degrees locally
- Counteracting the concerning “brain drain” in our Valley
By cultivating committed young professionals, we aim to enhance the quality of life in the Coachella Valley.
Impact on the Campus Community
- With 10-15 outstanding students in each incoming freshman class, we anticipate an improvement in academic performance at PDC, benefiting the entire campus community.
- Scholars will take on leadership roles, fostering community service and enriching the student life experience.
Ultimately, the University Legacy Scholars will serve as the foundation for a future Honors College, creating a vibrant academic environment at PDC.
