About Our Scholarships
The Community Foundation is home to more than 25 scholarship funds awarding scholarships annually to high school graduates who reside in San Benito County. These funds are held by individuals, families, and committees. Scholarships are awarded every year to motivated students pursuing their higher education goals. With financial assistance, we hope to lessen the burden of the cost of tuition, books, supplies, and living expenses for these students pursuing their goals and taking steps to achieve their dreams.
