    About this scholarship

    This state-funded program is awarded based on academic achievement and financial need. Although the award is intended for students attending four-year institutions like the University of California or California State University systems, community college students can put their award on reserve while completing their lower-division coursework. Eligibility is determined using a point system administered by the state commission, which evaluates information provided on the student's financial aid application alongside their verified grade point average.

    • Resident of California
    • Undergraduate
    • College 1st year or College 2nd year
    • Shows financial need on the FAFSA or state aid application
    • U.S. citizen or Eligible noncitizen or DACA or state Dream Act student
    • Usable at: 2-year college, 4-year college, public college, private college
    • This award is for UC and CSU students but can be held on reserve while the student is enrolled at Columbia College.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
