Scholarship Information:
Purpose
The Cal-SOAP College Access Scholarships aim to make post-secondary education financially accessible to academically talented, low-income and first-generation college students in the North Valley Cal-SOAP service area. By providing financial support to students with historically low college-going rates, the North Valley Cal-SOAP Consortium and the College Access Foundation of California seek to increase college participation, persistence and graduation rates. This in turn will lead our students and their families to experience higher quality social and economic lives through their educational attainment.
Eligibility
- Applicants must be currently-enrolled 12th grade or community college students of the North Valley Cal-SOAP Consortium as of Feb 16th, 2009. The North Valley Cal-SOAP Consortium serves students in the Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba Counties who are from low-income families; will be the first in their families to attend college; or are from schools or areas with documented low-eligibility or college participation rates.
- Applicants must plan on attending an accredited post-secondary institution (community college or four-year university) in the 2009-2010 academic year.
- After the initial selection process is completed, applicants who will be attending a community college will be asked to provide a signed educational plan indicating university transfer focus in order to be awarded.
- Applicants must plan on enrolling, in 6 or more units, beginning in the summer or fall term 2009.
- Applicants must have obtained a 2.0 cumulative GPA for the 2008-2009.
Awards
The total awarded to new applicants will equal $100,000 dollars, with most recipients receiving $1,000 and some receiving $500. Recipients will be notified by May 2009, and actual disbursements will occur after proper verification of enrollment has been submitted.
