The Crestmoor Scholarship honors the community members who most directly endured the destruction of the 2010 gas pipeline explosion and resulting fire and especially in memory of the eight San Bruno residents who lost their lives in the disaster. The Foundation intends to distribute $120,000 in multi-year scholarships this spring.
High school seniors headed to college and community college students planning to transfer to a four-year college in the fall of 2018 are eligible to apply. Applicants must live or attend a high school or community college located in San Bruno.
Scholarship recipients must demonstrate, as the top criteria, deep engagement and involvement in the San Bruno community. Other factors that will be considered during the selection process include, in no particular order, an applicant's financial need, extracurricular activities, academic record, and examples of leadership, teamwork, and collaboration.
