Applications for the 2026 Central Coast Impact Scholarship opened March 1, the California Legislative Central Coast Caucus Foundation announced Monday.
The scholarship is available to students from Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. The deadline for submissions is April 30 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
The program aims to support local students committed to strengthening their communities. “As a former teacher of over twenty years, I know that students thrive when they have a community of support,” said Foundation Co-chair Dawn Addis, Assemblymember for the 30th District. “This scholarship will honor the hard work of students in our region and help bring higher education financially within reach.”
Applications must be submitted online at CLCCCF.org, which also lists eligibility requirements and instructions.
The foundation, established in 2024, provides educational scholarships to students across California’s Central Coast.
