LAURA SEGURA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

The Laura Segura Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, is designed to support local students from Santa Cruz County high schools and educational programs. This program specifically benefits youth who have been involved in the foster care or juvenile justice systems. The funding helps recipients cover the costs of attending higher education institutions, including community colleges and universities.

To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must navigate the foundation's local application process. While the scholarship is funded through community donations, students are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their overall financial need and secure additional state or federal aid. For current dates and detailed application deadlines, candidates should consult the official page. This scholarship serves as a vital resource for local students overcoming personal hardships to pursue their academic goals.
