2025 Good Tidings Community Service Scholarship

Good Tidings Foundation is a non-profit, 501-(c)-3 children's charity that encourages and supports the growth of marginalized children in the Bay Area by creating spaces for athletics, artistic activities, education, and wonder.  

Our purpose is to provide opportunities that otherwise would be unavailable to kids regardless of their financial status, ethnic origin, or religion.  We created this education scholarship award in 1999 for high school seniors who recognize the benefits of serving their community. Our scholarships award high school seniors based on the greatest service and financial need.

The $10,000 scholarship check will be dispersed evenly over the course of 4 years. Winners will be notified by November 25, 2025. A total of 10 applicants will be accepted to receive this scholarship.

*Please note that a letter of recommendation is required in order to submit your application. Letters of recommendation must be submitted by the deadline in order for your application to be considered.
