YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITY

The Foundation manages over 40 scholarship funds, which were established by local individuals, families, businesses and organizations. Our scholarships provide tuition assistance and recognition to local students as they strive to achieve a wide range of goals through the pursuit of higher education. Each scholarship fund has its own unique criteria for selecting recipients, including academic achievement, financial need, educational and career goals, community involvement and ethnic background. Annual scholarship awards range from $500 to $8,000 and may be used for accredited academic and vocational training programs. You can view our scholarships grid detailing criteria for each opportunity. The City is looking for feedback from community members like you to ensure that these programs are distributed in an equitable fashion. Additionally, we are also hoping to learn more about how best to keep you and your neighbors up to date with this campaign. The City would like to invite you or a member of your organization to an upcoming listening session to discuss some of the exciting opportunities this campaign could bring to your community and how best to share this information with as many other community members as possible. The City is hosting two in-person listening sessions, one in both North and South Sacramento, and two virtual listening sessions, in the hopes to provide an option that is convenient to you! You can find out more information about the dates and locations of our listening sessions in the attached flyer or by visiting diysl.com/outreach. The City would also like to encourage you to visit www.cityofsacramento.org/EVBluePrintProjects to learn more about expanding electric vehicle access in Sacramento or to simply send a message Isaac Gonzalez at igonzalez@diysl.com to share your feedback or questions.
