## About this scholarship

The Carter Dewing Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation, supports high school seniors who plan to enroll in a four-year college or university. To qualify, applicants must intend to major in public service, social change, civic engagement, or advocacy. The program is designed for students who demonstrate academic strength, active community service, and civic leadership. 

The award provides $5,000 to assist with the costs of higher education. Because applicants must demonstrate financial need, students should prepare to submit financial information, which is typically done by completing the FAFSA or a state-based financial aid application. Preference for this scholarship is given to students attending Modesto High School. 

The Stanislaus Community Foundation utilizes a common online application system for its various programs. Candidates can apply directly through the foundation's portal. For current deadlines and application dates, please see the official page.
