Scholarship Program

To make it easy for the students, Castro Valley Educational Foundation provides ONE application on our website with all the available scholarships available to CVUSD Seniors. Here's an overview: 

• Scholarship Kick-off (Jan or Feb): Scholarship Night for all seniors to learn about what scholarships are being offered and how to apply. The application process opens that night.

• Application Process (Jan-March): Students can apply for one or many scholarships. Some scholarships require a short essay response (approximately 350 words maximum). Seniors will have a window to complete their applications, typically one month.

• Review Process (March-May): The sponsors or CVEF Scholarship Committee members will review the applications and choose a winner for each scholarship.

• Award Process (May): The award winners will be announced at Senior Awards night in late May. Winners will be given a check or the money will be mailed to their college. Details depend on the sponsor or scholarship requirements.
