The Bert and Carolyn Post Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, is designed to support local students from Santa Cruz County high schools as they pursue higher education. Historically, the program has awarded funding to graduates from regional institutions, such as Watsonville High School, helping them transition to college.
This scholarship assists with the costs of attending postsecondary institutions, which may include community colleges or universities. To apply, students must complete the application process outlined by the foundation. While the program focuses on local academic achievement and community roots, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their overall financial need, as many community foundation awards consider these records. For the most up-to-date application details, requirements, and deadlines, candidates should see the official page for current dates.
