The Natomas Schools Foundation has extended its deadline for accepting scholarship applications to 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 4, because its original deadline of March 31 was during the District’s week-long Spring Break when the Ed Center is closed.
Applications can be dropped of at the NUSD Ed Center, 1901 Arena Blvd., when it reopens April 4. They also can be mailed to the Natomas Schools Foundation, Attn: NSF Scholarship Committee, c/o School Leadership and Support, 1901 Arena Blvd., Sacramento, Ca., 95834.
Natomas Schools Foundation will award at $6,000 in academic scholarships this year — three for $1,000 apiece and six for $500 apiece — to high school and post-high school students to defray educational expenses at an accredited four-year college, two-year college, or a trade school.
Scholarship winners must live — or have resided — within NUSD boundaries. They also must attend — or have attended — high school within the District. Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher and have served 50 hours, within the past two years, of formal employment or volunteer service. The latter can include community assistance or participation in a school club or organization.
More information and an application are available below. If you have questions, contact Jennifer Arechiga, 567-5430, or email her at [email protected].
