Evelyn Hanshaw Scholarship Fund

The Evelyn Hanshaw Scholarship Fund, administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation, supports students who are pursuing higher education after overcoming personal and academic challenges. This program is specifically designed for graduates of Evelyn Hanshaw Middle School in Modesto, California. It helps recipients fund their education at two-year colleges, four-year universities, or vocational schools. Rather than focusing solely on grade point averages, the selection process emphasizes character traits such as resilience, leadership, and perseverance. To be considered for this financial assistance, applicants must complete the general scholarship application process through the foundation, which typically requires submitting academic records and demonstrating financial need. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their financial need as part of the broader application process.
