The MiraCosta College Foundation was founded in 1966 as a nonprofit corporation to provide funding for student scholarships, campus facility enhancement, and to both improve and create new academic programs for our college.

For over 40 years, the MiraCosta College Foundation has supported students by funding their pursuits toward a higher education, and providing the resources to help guide them toward success.

Our Foundation is supported by staff, faculty, alumni, and many generous community members who donate their time and financial support to building our campus community. Become a part of the MiraCosta foundation, and make a difference in the lives of our students.
