Immigrant Justice Scholarship

The Immigrant Justice Scholarship, administered by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, supports students who are committed to social justice efforts that address immigrant issues. Eligible applicants must be current high school seniors or college students who attend or graduated from specific California schools: Menlo-Atherton, Woodside, Carlmont, Sequoia, Redwood, TIDE Academy, Summit Everest, Cañada Middle College, East Palo Alto Academy, or Eastside College Preparatory. Candidates must plan to enroll at least part-time, taking a minimum of 6 units, at a two- or four-year college or university. Non-US citizens and undocumented students are eligible to apply. The program is renewable and provides up to $18,000 over six years, which translates to up to $3,000/year. To demonstrate financial hardship, applicants typically submit the FAFSA or the California Dream Act Application, depending on their citizenship status.
