Maralyn J. Stewart Memorial Scholarship

The Maralyn J. Stewart Memorial Scholarship, administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation, supports students who have a background in the performing arts. To qualify for this program, applicants must be current seniors or graduates of Modesto City Schools. Additionally, candidates must have actively participated in the performing arts during their time in high school and must demonstrate financial need. While the scholarship criteria require applicants to show financial need, the provider does not explicitly state whether students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a state-specific financial aid application to verify this need; however, completing these standard forms is generally recommended when applying for need-based aid. The scholarship award amount ranges from $1,000 - $2,500. For information regarding current application deadlines, interested students should check the official Stanislaus Community Foundation page.
