College Futures Monterey County

The College Futures Monterey County program, administered by the Community Foundation for Monterey County, provides financial assistance and support services to help students achieve their higher education goals. This initiative is designed specifically for low-income students who attend one of the 12 participating high schools in Monterey County, California. The program combines need-based scholarship funding with personalized guidance, including financial literacy resources, to help students navigate the college transition. Recipients are permitted to use the funding to attend any college or university of their choice. To qualify, students must apply for all public financial aid for which they are eligible, which typically involves completing the FAFSA or state financial aid applications. Interested students can apply through the foundation's online scholarship portal or contact a guidance counselor at their participating high school for assistance. For current deadlines, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
