San Diego, CA, February 06, 2025 — The Cal Coast Cares Foundation has begun accepting applications for its next round of student scholarships. The application period runs through March 5 and will support college-bound high school seniors, college students, and current or former foster students in San Diego and Riverside counties.
The non-profit foundation will award scholarships of up to $2,000 to selected students who are pursuing higher education and have a proven commitment to academic excellence and leadership in the community. Recipients of first-year foster student scholarships will also be eligible for second-year scholarships by continuing to meet the requirements.
“Our foundation has awarded over $1 million dollars in scholarships and grants since its inception in 2015 and we are proud to continue that commitment to local students and teachers. This would not be possible without the generous support of the entire community, and we thank local individuals, families, and businesses that have contributed to the foundation. With this continued support, we look forward to reaching even more students and teachers in the years ahead,” said Cal Coast Cares Foundation Manager Penney Newell.
