In partnership with The San Diego Foundation, donors participate in an application review and selection process that pulls from nearly 3,000 applicants each year. Since 1997, the program has awarded more than $24 million to thousands of students.
Awards are granted to four-year universities, two-year colleges, graduate, and trade/vocational schools. By using The Foundation common scholarship application, students can be considered for all scholarships through one application.
