We encourage applicants to carefully review the guidelines for each scholarship to see if they qualify.
The Foundation will be accepting scholarship applications from April 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 for the upcoming fall and spring semesters of that academic year. We notify all applicants by the beginning of August as to who the scholarship winners are. Upon notice of the awards, the scholarships are paid to the people to whom they were awarded in care of their educational institutions.
The application deadline is June 30, 2013 for all scholarships, with the exception of The Baldwin F. & Amy L. Kruse Scholarship, which is May 31, 2013.

In addition to the scholarships listed above, the Foundation administers The Andrew & Nevabelle Howe Scholarship, with the assistance of the Gateway District Superintendent's Office. Preference is given to students from the Gateway District. Subsequent consideration is given to applicants of the other eleven Foundation Scholarships that are submitted by the application process. The Foundation will also award The Cal Leeds Scholarship, The Rev. Albert W. Winseman Scholarship Endowment, The Atherton Memorial Scholarship Fund, and The Ben and Martha Simmons Scholarship Fund. An application process will not be required for submission for these scholarships.
