Laura Segura Scholarship

The Laura Segura Scholarship, administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, is designed to support youth who have been involved in either the foster care system or the juvenile justice system. This program helps these young scholars cover the costs of pursuing higher education, enabling them to attend colleges and universities.

To be considered for this funding, applicants should expect to complete the standard application process through the foundation. While the scholarship program does not explicitly detail its integration with federal or state financial aid systems, students pursuing higher education are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or their state's equivalent application to establish overall financial need and maximize their funding options. For the most up-to-date information regarding application requirements, deadlines, and current timelines, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
