Welcome to Golden West College’s scholarship application system!

The scholarship application is open until March 1, 2026 at 11:59pm

Remember: Submitting the general scholarship application automatically matches you with scholarship opportunities!

Once you submit the general application, our system will suggest additional scholarship opportunities you qualify for that need additional information. These are optional but highly encouraged. You do not need to apply to individual scholarships below since the system will match you with the scholarships you might qualify for.

Click the “SIGN IN” button in the upper right-hand corner to begin or update your application. Use your MyCoast credentials to log into the system; if you are unable to log in using your MyCoast credentials, you should complete a MyCoast Password Reset Request and try logging in again with your new password.

Please note: If you are not a current student at Golden West College, you must apply to GWC and be assigned a MyCoast username before beginning this application. Information on how to apply to GWC can be found on the Admissions Website.

After logging in to the Scholarship Application, please confirm that your student information (such as address, contact information, etc.) is correct. If your information is incorrect, please log in to your MyCoast account, click on the “Student” tab and select the “Banner Self-Service” folder to update your personal information. If you need additional assistance, please contact the Admissions & Records office at (714) 892-7711
