NorYo Opportunity Scholarship

The NorYo Opportunity Scholarship, administered by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, supports students from northern Yolo County who plan to pursue higher education. Eligible applicants must live within specific zip codes, which include Capay Valley, Dunnigan, Esparto, Knights Landing, Madison, Woodland, Yolo, and Zamora. Candidates must plan to enroll in an accredited two-year community college, vocational school, or trade school within two years of applying.

The program offers renewable awards ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. During the selection process, the foundation gives preference to first-generation college students as well as past recipients applying for renewal. To apply, students must submit their application through the foundation's online portal. The application process requires financial information, which is verified using a copy of the student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid submission summary report or California Dream Act report. For current deadlines, applicants should consult the official scholarship page.
