## About this scholarship

The SANTA CRUZ COUNTY ENDOWMENT SCHOLARSHIP is administered by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County. This program is designed to support local students from the region who are pursuing higher education. Eligible applicants include students attending local institutions like Cabrillo College, as well as graduates from Pajaro Valley High School. The scholarship helps cover educational expenses associated with attending college. 

To apply, students must complete the application process through the foundation. Because this is a regional scholarship program, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish financial need, which is often considered alongside academic and community criteria. Funding from this endowment works in conjunction with federal and state aid packages to help reduce the overall cost of college attendance. For details regarding application requirements and current deadlines, see the official page for current dates.
