HOW SCHOLARSHIP MOUNTAIN VIEW IS DISTINCT:

Scholarship Mountain View recognizes that post-secondary education is the single most powerful action students can take to succeed, so we honor all programs - be they community college, university, trade school, or special training. We also appreciate that today’s education costs include food, housing, transportation and other needs, so use of funds is not limited to just tuition.
