Bryan Potts Scholarship

The Bryan Potts Scholarship, administered by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, supports graduating seniors from Rio Americano High School who plan to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Eligible applicants must enroll at an accredited educational institution and demonstrate a minimum unweighted GPA of 2.5. Candidates must also exhibit financial need and embody the personal characteristics of Bryan Potts.

To apply, students must create an account on the provider's online scholarship portal and complete a general application to receive personalized recommendations. Most scholarships through the foundation open in December and close in March. The application process requires submitting a high school transcript, personal essays, and references. Because this is a need-based program, applicants must also provide financial documentation, which can include a submission summary report from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a California Dream Act report. Recipients may receive up to $10,000 to help cover their higher education expenses.
