Gustafson Fritz Scholarship for Women

The Gustafson Fritz Scholarship for Women is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation of the North State. This scholarship is designed specifically for female high school graduates residing in either Shasta County or Trinity County. Eligible candidates should exhibit personal qualities such as generosity, creativity, kindness, and a strong work ethic.

To apply, students must use the foundation's Universal Scholarship Application, which streamlines the process by matching applicants to multiple funding opportunities. Depending on the specific requirements of the program, applicants may need to submit additional materials, such as essays, letters of recommendation, or responses to supplemental questions. While students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA or state financial aid applications to establish financial need, the foundation's online portal serves as the primary application platform. The deadline to submit the completed application for this cycle is February 24, 2027.
