The Jack and Ellie Matranga Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed for graduating high school seniors who reside in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, or Yolo counties. To qualify, applicants must plan to pursue a degree or certification in mass media at an accredited vocational school or a two- or four-year college or university.

To apply, candidates must register on the provider's online scholarship portal and complete a general application.

As part of the application process, students must provide their academic transcripts and may need to submit a personal essay, references, and financial documentation. This financial requirement is verified through a submission summary report from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application. The award amount is $1,500. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
