College Scholarships Available for Seniors
(San Jose, CA) - Students at select area high schools in need of economic assistance attending college in the fall are encouraged to apply to the Silicon Valley College Success Scholarship Fund, a program of UC Santa Cruz's Educational Partnership Center. Andrew Hill, James Lick, Gunderson, Overfelt, San Jose High Academy, Yerba Buena, and Willow Glen high schools are eligible for scholarship funds provided by the College Access Foundation in collaboration with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
The Silicon Valley College Success Scholarship Fund provides need-based scholarships for college-bound, seniors at Andrew Hill, James Lick, Gunderson, Overfelt, San Jose High Academy, Yerba Buena, and Willow Glen high schools. Students seeking to attend community college or a four-year college or university can submit their scholarship application by the April 16, 2010 deadline and qualify for an award ranging from $1,000 to $6,000.
"The Educational Partnership Center provides a variety of support for students in these schools, but many need financial support in addition to advising, tutoring and other services to get to college," said Felicia Nance, Assistant Director, San Jose Cal-SOAP, and Educational Partnership Center (EPC). "We're thankful to our supporters to be able to provide students with that last push to get them to college."
Students currently under scholarship are encouraged to renew. More information and applications can be downloaded at the Educational Partnership Center web site (http://epc.ucsc.edu/). Recipients of scholarships will be announced in June 2010.
