Making Hope Happen Foundation Scholarship Application 2026
Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to continue your education through an accredited college, trade school, additional career technical training, or certification after High School. We believe in you and want to help you reach your goal of a higher education.
The Making Hope Happen Foundation makes awards to San Bernardino students with financial need who often face additional challenges. It is our intention that these funds be available to cover expenses that could be a barrier to their successful completion of 12 semester units of study.
Description
Every student awarded one of our scholarships will receive a scholarship of $3,000, which will be evenly disbursed throughout their first two years of higher education. Along with the financial assistance, they will also receive a peer mentor, who is a current college student and a past recipient of this scholarship.
This single application will collect information to match your qualifications with various scholarship opportunities available through our Foundation. Take time to complete the application thoroughly, as every question relates to a scholarship opportunity. You may revisit this program to continue your application until you are ready to submit your application.
You must submit before the given deadline in order to be considered for a scholarship.
Please use a personal email, not your school email, and check your email regularly during the application and awarding periods. This is how we will communicate with you.
