Students in Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity, and Curry counties are encouraged to apply for nearly 200 scholarship opportunities offered through the Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF).
These scholarships will support students throughout the 2025-26 academic school year and are offered to students pursuing any form of postsecondary education, including associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and degrees and certifications from a career, vocational or technical school.
The deadline to apply for the scholarships, which range from $250 to $10,000, is midnight March 3. The online Universal Application and more information can be found at ScholarshipFinder.org.
“The Universal Application offers a straightforward way for both current and prospective students to access a wide range of educational funding opportunities through a single application,” says Sydney Morrone, Grants & Scholarships Manager at the Foundation. “Many of our scholarship funds have been supporting students in our region for decades, and we are proud to continue providing these valuable resources to help students succeed.”
These scholarships were created by regional businesses, clubs, organizations, schools, and individual donors to honor loved ones, support access to higher education, and improve the lives of students as they pursue their diverse ambitions.
Last year, HAF+WRCF awarded over 500 scholarships totaling over $900K. The scholarship round featured 1,138 unique applicants, a 6% increase from 2023 and 20% increase over 2022.
