The Community Scholarship Program, the largest in the San Diego region outside of the university system, provides a variety of scholarships to high school students, current college students, graduate students and adult re-entry students. 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.
