PEF Scholarship Applications Due January 24, 2018

The annual Petaluma Educational Foundation (PEF) Scholarship application period is now open for the Class of 2018. Our online application portal can be accessed through our website at pefinfo.com, click the Scholarship tab and you will be directed to the PEF/Awardsprings online portal to apply. Students complete a general questionnaire and the system populates those scholarships you are eligible to apply for this school year. Scholarships support vocational, 2-year and 4-year programs for students continuing their academic careers in the fall of 2018. Please be sure to note the deadline for completed applications to be submitted is January 24, 2018. The announcement of individual awards will take place in April 2018 at the annual PEF Scholarship Reception.

PEF is honored to manage 66 Scholarship Programs for donors who provide the Foundation with clear criteria for selecting recipients. In 2017, we awarded $208,550 to seniors graduating from all seven Petaluma high schools, bringing the total to $3,132,185 awarded since 1990. This local legacy of support for education is an amazing tribute to the generations of students who have gone on to become community and business leaders both here and across the nation.

Please consider supporting PEF with a financial gift today. PEF does not receive any state or government funding to support our programs benefiting over 13,000 K-12 public,private and charter students annually enrolled in 38 Petaluma area schools.
