    About this scholarship

    The Spirit of 49 Award is a scholarship program administered by the Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County. This program is designed to support students pursuing higher education, with specific eligibility criteria determined by the individual fund guidelines. The award helps recipients cover educational expenses associated with attending college.

Because key dates and requirements can vary from year to year, applicants should see the official page for current dates and detailed submission instructions.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
