Are you, or do you know of, a Bay Area high school student with an interest in writing?
Each year, 826 Valencia (a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting students with their writing skills) awards three $10,000 scholarships to college-bound students in the Bay Area:
The Young Author’s Scholarship
The Nathan Jillson Memorial Scholarship
The Irving Hochman Scholarship
To be eligible you must:
be a high school graduate or graduating senior.
demonstrate financial need.
live in the Bay Area.
demonstrate intent to enroll in a vocational school, college, or university.
Applicants should also have an extracurricular interest in the written word. Anyone who meets the above criteria may apply, but preference will be given to students who attend public high schools in San Francisco.
