Meet Rose Berumen. From the Foundation Office on the Douglas Campus, she helps students find the scholarships that make college possible.

A lot of students don't realize how much is out there, or that Cochise is more affordable and accessible than they expected. Rose makes sure they know.

Don't let cost hold you back. Apply to Cochise College, meet with our team, and see what scholarships may be available to you.

The science building at the Douglas Campus has a new name, and a story behind it worth telling.

On Tuesday, June 16, we dedicated the Ann Marie Stephens Science Building, honoring a gift that will give Cochise County students hands-on learning in viticulture, agriculture and the sciences, with roots in the local vineyards and wineries that make our region's wine industry its own. We were proud to mark the day alongside employees, community members and partners.
