Scholarship Process

This scholarship reflects the values and vision of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Eligibility includes students graduating from a high school in San Luis Obispo, CA without regard to race, color, or creed.

Graduating seniors from San Luis Obispo High School, Pacific Beach High School, and Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School receive scholarship applications through their school counseling offices.

The scholarship application period begins in early January and closes at the end of February. Final submission dates appear on the application form.

The Board of Directors conducts a structured review, screens applications, interviews candidates and selects finalists. Scholarship award notifications are issued in early April.

Each year, the program recognizes and awards more than ten students through this locally administered scholarship process, supporting college plans and continued education.
