Education changes lives and empowers communities
OUR PURPOSE
Pacific Education Foundation (PEF) is a private foundation based in Northern California. We support individuals who are committed to continuing their education, but may lack the support and resources to make it happen. We partner with organizations that prepare students to reach their personal and professional goals through quality, career-focused programs.
We support students who are determined to succeed, despite their circumstances.
OUR IMPACT
Empowering the next generation
Many of our recipients are the first in their families to continue their education beyond high school; many come from low-income or under-served backgrounds, or are parents, caregivers, veterans or first-generation Americans. We provide financial assistance and mentoring to empower our recipients to achieve academic and personal success through continued educational development.
OUR PARTNERS
We support our recipients through life-long mentorship, providing a network of support that continues beyond the completion of their education
A lasting impact beyond graduation
“Growing up in a less-privileged community presented both financial and academic challenges, but it helped me realize the value of a college education. Thank you for helping me get much closer to achieving my goals.”
— Sebastian, PEF Scholarship Recipient
