The Bright Futures Scholarship

The Bright Futures Scholarship was established in 2010 by Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) to provide additional scholarship opportunities to the many worthy applicants that seek funding each year. This scholarship supports graduating high school seniors, currently enrolled undergraduate students, reentry students pursuing a first associate (AA) or bachelor's (BA) degree, and graduate students who can demonstrate academic excellence and financial need. The selection committee looks for students showing academic promise and whose educational opportunities will be increased by financial assistance. Recipients must be currently residing in California and demonstrate a commitment to their educational goals with a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. The scholarship provides up to $10,000 to help students pursue their educational goals at two-year or four-year institutions.
