In the mid-1970’s, the 8-Ball Welfare Foundation approved a second, related mission. That is the awarding of limited and smaller grants to journalism schools to help needy students. This is only done when the Chairman of the Board of Directors determines sufficient funding remains in a given year beyond the prime mission of fulfilling Grants to working journalists.
Over the years, we have provided help to students in need at the following Southern California schools: Los Angeles City College, Santa Monica City College, Cal State University – Long Beach, Cal State University – Northridge, East Los Angeles College, Pasadena City College, Pierce College, University of Southern California, University of La Verne, Mount San Antonio College, Loyola Marymount University, Pepperdine University, Los Angeles Valley College, Glendale Community College and Rio Hondo College.
