The Cheryl Brown Gerontology Scholarship
Partner with us to shape California’s future!
The California Commission on Aging (CCoA) needs your financial support to ensure future scholarship opportunities for students pursuing gerontology and related fields. As California’s aging population grows, the need for skilled professionals in gerontology, healthcare, and social services is more urgent than ever.
These careers are vital to enhancing the well-being of older adults and ensuring a more compassionate, informed society. These careers are not just jobs—they are pathways to making a profound difference in the lives of older adults and ensuring that our society understands and values this essential segment of our population. By supporting these scholarships, you are not only helping students achieve their dreams, you are investing in the future.
Will you join us in supporting this urgent and impactful mission?
