EMMETT AND ELSIE GEISER SCHOLARSHIP

The Emmett and Elsie Geiser Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County. This financial aid opportunity is designed for local students graduating from high schools within Santa Cruz County, including Pajaro Valley, Aptos, and Watsonville High Schools. It helps cover the costs associated with pursuing a degree at an accredited college or university.

To be considered for this funding, applicants must complete the scholarship application process through the foundation. While the program is independent, students are generally encouraged to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their financial need, which is often a key component of community foundation awards. Recipients are selected based on their academic achievements, community involvement, and local ties. For current dates and specific application deadlines, candidates should consult the official page.
