Petaluma Educational Foundation Annual Scholarship Program

Online Application Portal is Now Open!

The Petaluma Educational Foundation (PEF) is honored to manage 66 scholarship funds for donors who provide the Foundation with clear criteria for selecting recipients. In 2018, PEF awarded $224,850 to seniors graduating from Petaluma high schools, bringing the total to $3,357,235 awarded since 1990.

The PEF online scholarship application portal is open for all members of the Class of 2019 attending any of the seven Petaluma area high schools (Petaluma High, Casa Grande High, St. Vincent High, San Antonio High, Sonoma Mountain High, Carpe Diem High, and Valley Oaks High) looking to pursue further education at 2-year colleges, 4-year colleges, and vocational training programs. Students can apply online at pefinfo.com for a variety of financial awards funded by donors of PEF. Completed applications are due by January 23, 2019. A scholarship awards reception will be held in April 2019 to honor our donors and celebrate the individual scholarship award winners.

PEF is proud to support engaging young minds and providing access for all students at all levels, across all subject areas, to be the best they can be. PEF helps these students by elevating their educational opportunities resulting in innovative and creative minds that will lead our community as members of the future workforce.
