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.
