LOUIS J. AND MARY ELLEN SCHULTZ SCHOLARSHIP

The Louis J. and Mary Ellen Schultz Scholarship is a regional program administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County. It is designed to support local students from Santa Cruz County high schools, such as Harbor High School, as they pursue higher education. The funding helps cover educational expenses associated with attending an accredited college or university.

To apply, candidates must submit the foundation's scholarship application, which typically requires academic records and personal statements. While the program is administered locally, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application, as community foundation scholarships often consider financial need alongside academic achievement and community involvement. This financial aid data helps the selection committee assess eligibility and coordinate funding with the student's chosen institution. For current deadlines and specific application requirements, candidates should consult the official Community Foundation Santa Cruz County website.
