## About this scholarship

The Helen Nash Scholarship Fund is a program administered by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. This fund is designed to assist students in pursuing their higher education goals by providing financial support for college. The program is geared toward helping local students overcome educational barriers and achieve academic success at their chosen institutions. 

To determine eligibility and assess financial need, the application process may require students to submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly known as the FAFSA. This federal form helps the foundation evaluate a student's household income and calculate their unmet financial need based on the actual cost of attendance. 

The application period for scholarships managed by the foundation typically opens in early December and runs through mid-March. After applications are reviewed and scored by selection committees, recipients are determined, and students are notified of their awards by the end of June. Funding from this scholarship helps cover educational expenses to make college more accessible.

## How to apply

Submit an application through the foundation's online portal when the scholarship cycle is open.
