​The Cal Coast Cares Foundation has begun accepting applications for its next round of college scholarships for local students. The application period runs through March 20th.
 
The nonprofit foundation will award scholarships of up to $2,000 to deserving college students, graduating high school seniors, and foster students who are in or have been in the foster care system in San Diego or Riverside counties, and have a proven commitment to academic excellence and leadership in the community. Recipients of first-year foster student scholarships will also be eligible for second-year scholarships by continuing to meet the requirements.

Cal Coast Cares Foundation Manager Penney Newell said, “These scholarships open doors for students who are working hard to achieve their dreams, often while overcoming significant challenges. By easing the financial burden of higher education, we hope to empower local students to focus on their studies, leadership, and service to others. This work is made possible through the charitable contributions of generous individuals, businesses, and community partners who share in our mission to uplift students and support educators.”
