Support the Gateway College and Career Academy Class of 2026 Scholarship Drive!

Gateway College and Career Academy (GCCA) was founded in 2004 in response to the growing number of students who had become disconnected from their education and were not on track to graduate. Our innovative, small school program not only helps students complete their high school diplomas but also introduces them to the opportunities that come with earning a college degree or career technical education certificate. Through our dual enrollment partnership with Riverside City College, Gateway students gain direct access to college coursework while still completing their high school requirements.

For many students and families who had not previously found success or fulfillment in traditional high school settings, Gateway has been a place where they can truly thrive.

We are proud to once again launch our scholarship drive to recognize distinguished graduates from the Class of 2026. Many of our most successful students continue to face significant financial barriers on their path to higher education. Even when financial aid is available, gaps often remain—costs like textbooks, transportation, and other essentials can make the difference between continuing their college journey or stalling out.

Your support will go directly toward scholarships for outstanding graduates who have demonstrated academic excellence, personal growth, leadership, and a positive contribution to our campus community. Recipients will be selected through a staff vote and will be recognized at our graduation ceremony at the end of the academic year.

Every donation, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact on a student who is working hard to build a better future.

"It is an honor to be one of the recipients of Gateway's first scholarship. I have always seen other students receive scholarships, but I would have never imagined that I would be receiving one. Thank you for your generosity; this scholarship is a motivation for me to accomplish my dream of becoming a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer."
— Sydney Gonzalez, 2021 GCCA Scholarship Awardee
