The Osher Foundation

The Osher Foundation has launched a $50 million scholarship fund which will provide scholarships for thousands of California students annually. The Osher Foundation matches funds raised by community colleges on a 1:2 basis. The COMF will acquire almost $100,000 during the next few years through its match. The Osher Foundation’s matched contribution will provide $5,000 to $10,000 annually in new scholarships for Osher Scholars at the College of Marin.
