Sacramento Region Community Foundation

The Foundation manages over 50 scholarship funds, which were established by local individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. Our scholarships provide tuition assistance and recognition to local students as they strive to achieve a wide range of goals through the pursuit of higher education.Each scholarship fund has its own unique criteria for selecting recipients, including academic achievement, financial need, educational and career goals, and community involvement. Annual scholarship awards range from $500 to $10,000 and may be used for accredited academic and vocational training programs. In 2024, the Foundation awarded over $1 million to more than 400 students.
