Ways to Give
Planned Giving
The PBSC Foundation invites you to help create a brighter future for students through planned giving. Legacy giving through the Palm Society reflects a deep belief in the power of education to change lives and to keep opportunity within reach for future generations. As you consider the impact you want to make, the Foundation is here to offer thoughtful guidance and help carry your generosity with purpose.
Scholarships
Through the generosity of our donors, the Foundation is proud to support scholarships that empower upcoming and current students to confidently pursue their education. There are more than 200 Foundation scholarships available for students, each created to support achievement and encourage possibility.
Greatest Needs
Sometimes, the smallest essentials make the biggest difference. Required textbooks, transportation assistance, technology, school supplies, or other unexpected expenses can determine whether a student stays in class and on track. Your support helps Palm Beach State College students overcome immediate challenges, remain focused on their education, and continue moving toward graduation and long-term success.
