College Scholarships
The Cabbage Patch awards an annual scholarship to any active member who graduates after at least three active years in our programs. There is no minimum GPA requirement.
During the 2025-2026 academic year, 35 motivated Cabbage Patch Scholars received $210,000 in scholarships that help bridge the financial gap often created after student loans and grants have been applied toward college tuition, housing, fees and expenses.
Scholars also receive ongoing financial literacy education, career development support, and one-on-one guidance.
Alumni Support
Cabbage Patch alumni may continue to access career advice, job placement assistance, and résumé review. Once a Patch member, always a Patch member.
