Community Scholarship – Sacramento Region

The Community Scholarship, provided by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, is designed to support high school seniors residing in Sacramento County who plan to enroll in an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational school. This financial aid program provides a $2,500 award to help cover educational expenses.

While the scholarship is open to local seniors meeting the basic residency and enrollment criteria, the selection committee prioritizes specific applicants. Preference is given to first-generation college students, applicants maintaining a GPA between 2.5 and 3.5, and those with a Student Aid Index of 6,000 or below.

To apply, students must register and complete a profile through the provider's online scholarship portal. The application process requires candidates to submit a copy of their most recent academic transcript showing their unweighted GPA. Additionally, applicants must provide a copy of their Free Application for Federal Student Aid submission summary report or their California Dream Act report to verify financial need.
