Crain Scholarship

The Crain Scholarship program was established in 1987 in memory of Dr. R. Carter Crain and Mildred E. Crain, through Mrs. Crain's will. The purpose of the scholarship is to enable high school graduates to pursue courses of study that they would otherwise be unable to follow due to limited financial means. The selection committee looks for academic promise, documented perseverance in activities outside the classroom, the quality of the personal statement and personal characteristics such as honesty, good judgment and commitment to serving the community. This scholarship is designed for students showing academic excellence, extracurricular activities and a commitment to the community. Recipients must be graduating high school seniors or graduates from San Mateo County or Santa Clara County planning to enroll or enrolled in a four-year college or university as a full-time student. Eligible students will apply for the joint Crain and Hazel Reed Baumeister Scholarships program through the online portal.
