At a regular monthly meeting, aspiring ornithologist Taylor Heaton Crisologo thanked Assistance League of Diablo Valley for a Scholarship.
One of ten philanthropic programs of Assistance League® of Diablo Valley, Scholarships was established in 1999. Each year, this program has offered emotional and financial support to foster youth, high school, community college, and university students who demonstrate the need and desire to improve their lives by furthering their education. Individual scholarships could amount to as much as $5000.
The Foster Youth Application deadline is March 16, 2016. The High School Application deadline is March 23, 2016. The Community College Application deadline is March 18, 2016.
Scholarships Committee Co-Chairmen Lesley Salo and Cindi Segale remind applicants of the addition of two categories. The Sandi Lou Back to School Scholarship is a need based, $2500 award to benefit a Contra Costa County resident returning to school after an absence. Encouraging a person who has been out of the educational system for any number of reasons to apply for reentry at the community college level, its requirements include a high school diploma with a minimum 2.8 GPA or a G.E.D. certificate.
