Jessica Joelle Holt and Emmy Macfarlane Memorial Scholarship

The Jessica Joelle Holt and Emmy Macfarlane Memorial Scholarship is administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation to support local students pursuing a career in teaching. This program is specifically designed for graduating seniors from Pitman, Turlock, or Denair High Schools. The scholarship provides $1,000 to assist recipients with their educational expenses as they prepare for their future careers in education.

To apply, students must complete the Stanislaus Community Foundation’s common online application. While the foundation manages the selection process, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application, as demonstrating financial need is a standard part of evaluating candidates for many regional awards. The funding helps cover tuition, fees, books, or other college-related costs at accredited post-secondary institutions. To find the deadline for the current application cycle, students should see the official page for current dates.
