ERNEST V. COWELL SCHOLARSHIP

The Ernest V. Cowell Scholarship is a regional financial aid program administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County. This scholarship is designed to assist local students who are graduates of high schools within Santa Cruz County, such as Santa Cruz High School, as they pursue higher education. The funding helps recipients manage the costs associated with attending a college or university.

To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must complete the application process outlined by the foundation. While the program is administered locally, students are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their overall financial need and coordinate their financial aid packages. For current dates and specific application deadlines, candidates should consult the official page for current dates. This scholarship supports the academic advancement of local students, helping them transition from county high schools to postsecondary institutions.
