Coast Central proudly provides over $425,000 in grants, sponsorships, and scholarships annually. This level of giving is only made possible because of you, our members, and your loyalty. Created over three decades ago, our college scholarship program has enabled hundreds of local young people to further their education. This year, our Board of Directors approved an increase to a total of 19 scholarships, up from 11 awarded historically. These are 4-year, $5,000 awards available to high school seniors in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties. Recipients are selected based on financial need, an essay on overcoming adversity, academic performance or consistent improvement, and community and/or school involvement. Students must plan to attend Cal Poly Humboldt, Chico State, College of the Redwoods, or Shasta College for at least the first two years. 2022 recipients will be announced by the end of April.
We checked in with three recent recipients to get updates on their accomplishments and plans for the future. Meet Brianne, Hunter, and Taylor!
