## About this scholarship

The Monica Abbott Scholarship Fund, administered by the Community Foundation for Monterey County, supports female student athletes who are graduating from any public high school located within Monterey County. Established by professional softball pitcher and Olympian Monica Abbott, this program is designed to assist young women as they transition from high school athletics to postsecondary education. The scholarship funding is paid directly to the accredited college or university where the recipient enrolls, helping to cover the costs of higher education. To be considered for this opportunity, applicants should complete the foundation's scholarship application process. While the provider does not explicitly detail how this specific award integrates with federal or state financial aid, students pursuing need-based aid in California generally must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their overall financial need. For current deadlines and application dates, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
