Don & Debbie Bankson Scholarship Endowment Fund

The Don & Debbie Bankson Scholarship Endowment Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of the North State, is designed to help local youth pursue a college education. This program is specifically for students from Shasta County who demonstrate strong academic achievement and a dedicated background in community service.

To be considered for this funding, applicants must complete the foundation's Universal Scholarship Application. This online system matches students with multiple local opportunities based on their eligibility. Depending on the specific requirements of the program, applicants may also need to submit additional materials, such as essays or letters of recommendation. While this scholarship is not directly managed by federal or state financial aid programs, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application to establish overall financial need. The deadline to submit the application for this scholarship is February 24, 2027.
