Arthur H. Goodman Scholarship
Through the Arthur H. Goodman Scholarship Endowment Fund, CDC Small Business Finance provides financial assistance to dynamic, community-minded students transitioning from a community college in California, Arizona, and Nevada to a four-year university.
This annual award is open to applications from deserving individuals entering the fall semester. Please note this is not for high school graduates matriculating to a four-year university or community college.

Arthur cared deeply about small business owners in San Diego. He lead with a passion to get things done and find a way to help as many people as possible.
— Kurt Chilcott, Former CEO, CDC Small Business Finance
