In 2024, the Foundation for Education provided twenty-seven $500 Foundation for Education scholarships, 4 Higher Ed Week Scholarships, and 1 UCSD Academic Connections Scholarship.
By offering scholarships to students in alternative education/continuation schools, students with special needs, and victims of domestic violence, the Foundation for Education hopes to increase college access and success for some of Imperial County’s most vulnerable students.
Scholarships may be used for the payment of tuition, academic fees, room and board, and the purchase of educational materials, books, or equipment.
Students who wish to apply may submit a personal essay along with a completed application, two letters of recommendation, and their high school transcript.
