Pillars of Support

The first Pillars of Support were inducted at the inaugural Courtyard of Honor ceremony in 1995. Since that time, Golden West College has inducted 77 Pillars. A Pillar of Support represents a cash gift from an individual or business of $25,000 or higher.  

These funds are designated to support student success in a variety of areas, including scholarships for a Huntington Beach Police Department cadet in the Criminal Justice program, assistance for student nurses, memorial scholarships in honor of a loved one, or advanced training for students to keep them on the cutting edge as they transfer to a four year institution or join the workforce.

The Golden West College Foundation salutes the individuals and businesses that support higher education and ensure our student’s success!
