## About this scholarship

The Scholarship Athletes of Stanislaus, formerly known as the Tom Mellis Memorial, is a program administered by the Stanislaus Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed for graduating high school seniors who are actively participating in a varsity sport. Along with their athletic involvement, applicants must show a strong academic record, leadership qualities, and a commitment to community service. 

To apply, students must complete the foundation's common online application. While the provider uses this centralized application system to streamline the process, applicants should also prepare to submit their financial information. Although the scholarship does not explicitly require the FAFSA, completing the federal form or a state financial aid application is highly recommended, as many foundation awards consider financial need.
