David W. Moore Memorial Scholarship

The David W. Moore Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation, supports graduating seniors from Atwater, Golden Valley, and Oakdale high schools. This program is designed for students who plan to pursue a degree in agriculture, ag-related fields, animal science, teaching, or primary healthcare. To qualify, applicants must have a GPA of 2.5 or higher, show active community involvement, and demonstrate financial need.

The Stanislaus Community Foundation utilizes a single, common online application for its scholarship programs. While the foundation does not explicitly require the FAFSA, applicants must demonstrate financial need to qualify for this specific award. Consequently, completing the FAFSA or the California Dream Act Application is highly recommended to provide the necessary financial documentation. The scholarship provides a one-time award of $2,500 to assist with educational expenses. Students interested in applying should consult the official page for current dates and deadlines.
