APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Please submit the following materials as a single PDF file using the application form by the due date:

  • Scholarship Proposal
    Write a short essay (1-2 pages) specifying the host public agency or nonprofit organization where the applicant seeks to gain the professional training or experience, provide a description of the project(s) that will be the focus of the award period, and share learning goals and expected outcomes from the experience.
  • Offer Letter
    Include the offer letter if you are working with a host public agency or nonprofit organization. If you have not yet been provided an offer, your scholarship will be contingent on providing a letter once it is available. Iif your project consists of independent study, an offer letter is not required.
  • Budget
    Include travel, living expenses, etc. Budgets can be up to $3,000.
  • Resume
    Detailed resume or CV outlining relevant academic, co-curricular, and employment experiences.
  • Unofficial Transcript
    Cal Central printouts are acceptable.

Please note: Federal financial aid regulations require that all awards received by a student cannot exceed their financial aid need as determined by a congressional formula. It is possible, therefore, that the cash award for a Prize could reduce some component of a needy student’s package of financial aid awards. In these cases, the Financial Aid Office attempts first to reduce loan or work aid; fellowships, grants or scholarships are only reduced as a last resort. Regardless of your financial aid situation, the IRS views fellowships, grants or scholarships that are not directly applied to tuition or other educational expenses as taxable income.
