The SCholars Program is a collaborative initiative between the Jack Kent Cook Foundation, the University of Southern California (USC), and local community colleges. The program’s primary focus is to identify high-achieving community college students and encourage them to transfer to elite public and private universities.


SCholars Program members participate in a variety of events geared toward helping them succeed at USC. Our two most popular events are the Immersion Experience and the Faculty/SCholar Luncheons. During the Immersion Experience, SCholars spend a week before classes meeting new friends and connecting to the academic mission of the university. The Faculty/SCholar luncheons provide a comfortable environment for students to interact with professors outside of the classroom.


The SCholars Club is designed to assist exceptional community college students from East Los Angeles College (ELAC), Los Angeles City College (LACC), and Los Angeles Trade Technical College (LATTC) in transferring to the nation’s most selective colleges and universities. Students interested in participating in this unique program must submit a SCholars Club application by the appropriate deadline.

Once admitted to USC, SCholars Program participants receive academic and social support services designed to ensure a smooth transition from their former community college to USC.

Is a national private philanthropy dedicated to providing exceptional students with financial need the opportunity to reach their full potential through education. The foundation’s programs include the largest scholarship in the US for community college transfer students, scholarships to graduate school students, and grants to organizations that serve high-achieving students with financial need.
