## About this scholarship

The Reach Higher Scholarship, provided by the Community Foundation of the North State, is a unique program designed to help younger students start saving for college early. Unlike most traditional college awards that target graduating seniors, this specific opportunity is limited to Shasta County High School freshmen only. 

The program is designed to help local students build financial assets for their future higher education. Because it is administered by a regional community foundation, applicants should expect to complete the foundation's application process. While the scholarship is not directly tied to federal student aid, students pursuing higher education in the United States are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to maximize their overall funding opportunities when they eventually enroll in college. To find out more about the application process and current deadlines, see the official page for current dates.
