Scholarships

January 30, 2012 - We're now accepting scholarship applications for the 2012-2013 academic year, using our new online tool!

To apply, you’ll need to create a new account if you’re a first time user of the system. The system will remember your contact information and automatically tie it to any other scholarship applications submitted through our online system.

We manage several scholarship funds, which donors have established at the Foundation to help Santa Cruz County students pursue their education beyond the high school level.

In 2011, we awarded $39,500 to thirteen outstanding students, plus a separate $2,000 award through the Matt's Climb Scholarship.
