Palomar College Foundation

A legacy of passion. A future of opportunity. 🎙️

The Palomar College Foundation was honored to welcome Rechelle to campus to see her father Dick Warren's naming plaque in KKSM Production Studio C for the very first time.

During the visit, Rechelle and Zeb, who had the privilege of working alongside Dick at KKSM, shared heartfelt stories about his love of radio, engineering, and mentoring students. It was clear that Dick's passion for broadcasting and engineering, and his commitment to helping students discover their talents, left a lasting impact on everyone around him.

To carry that legacy forward, Rechelle and her sister, Renee, established the Dick Warren Memorial Scholarship, supporting students pursuing degrees in Radio Industry Broadcasting and Engineering.

Dick's passion helped inspire generations of students, and thanks to his family's generosity, that inspiration will continue for years to come.

💙 Thank you, Rechelle and Renee, for honoring Dick's remarkable legacy and investing in the next generation of broadcasters and engineers.

📐 Designing futures. Building possibilities.

Palomar College Foundation is incredibly grateful for our continued partnership with HMC Architects’ Designing Futures Foundation (DFF) Bridge to Architecture Scholarship Program (). Their generous grant will provide scholarships that help Palomar College architecture and design students overcome financial barriers and continue creating, designing, and building their futures.

Together, we're investing in the next generation of architects and designers and the communities they will one day shape.

The Palomar College Foundation extends our sincere gratitude to the Cushman Foundation for its generous investment in “Honoring Our Heroes, Investing in Healing”, an initiative dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of Palomar College's military-affiliated students and veterans.

Through this grant, the Cushman Foundation is helping expand access to on-campus mental health counseling and provide specialized training for faculty and staff, strengthening our ability to serve those who have served our country.

We are honored to partner with the Cushman Foundation to remove barriers to student success and ensure our veterans have the resources, support, and care they need to thrive both in the classroom and beyond.

Thank you, Cushman Foundation, for your commitment to educational opportunity and for making a lasting impact on the lives of our student veterans and military families.

✨ Flashback to 2025...

Last year, the Palomar College Foundation's Emergency Grant Program helped students overcome financial hardships that could have ended their educational journey, giving them the opportunity to keep learning, growing, and pursuing their dreams.

Now, even in the middle of summer, students continue reaching out for help. They're still taking classes. Still balancing jobs and family responsibilities. Still determined to earn a degree despite life's unexpected challenges.

The calendar may say summer, but the need for emergency grants never takes a season off. 💙

Today we celebrate the freedoms that bring us together and the communities that make us stronger. As you enjoy time with family, friends, and loved ones, we wish you a safe, joyful, and memorable Independence Day.

From all of us at the Palomar College Foundation, Happy Fourth of July! 🎆

☀️ Summer is here! Beach days, vacations, and plenty of sunshine are calling. But while many are enjoying a break, thousands of Palomar College students are still hitting the books, taking summer classes, and working hard to build brighter futures. ☄️📚

For many students, summer doesn't mean time off. It means finding a way to pay for textbooks, technology, transportation, and basic needs while staying focused on their education.

You can help keep their dreams moving forward. Please consider making a gift to the Palomar College Foundation and investing in students who are choosing education this summer.

💻✨ One laptop changed everything.

When Briana needed reliable technology to stay in school, the Palomar College Foundation provided an emergency laptop so she could continue her education without interruption.

For today's students, access to technology is essential. Thanks to our generous donors, Briana had the tools she needed to stay on track and keep moving toward her goals.

Your support does more than provide a laptop. It creates opportunity, hope, and a path to success. 💙☄️
