Leading with Vision. Investing in Opportunity.
President’s Associates (PA) is Palomar College Foundation’s premier giving circle of community leaders who understand that when students succeed, our entire region thrives. This group of forward-thinkers champions a powerful idea: that education should be accessible to all, regardless of income or circumstance.
Palomar College serves students who are driven, resilient, and determined to change their lives and the lives of those around them.
- 51% of our students work 20 hours or more each week, often balancing jobs, school, and family responsibilities just to make ends meet.
- 32% are the first in their families to attend college, courageously stepping into the unknown to build a better future.
- 42% receive financial aid, yet still struggle to afford textbooks, transportation, and basic needs.
Your support as a President’s Associate is a lifeline.
Through your investment of time, expertise, and an annual gift of $1,000 or more to our annual fund, you help ensure these students not only stay in school but thrive. Your presence in this circle of committed donors affirms that education is worth fighting for—because it’s worth your support.
