Interested in applying for one of the many Community Foundation of SLO scholarships?
"In many situations, grants and scholarships are the same. But sometimes, the awarding of a grant is based more on financial need, while scholarships may focus more on academic excellence, community service, a particular area of study, or membership in a particular group. See if one of these scholarships fits your college needs."

The Hagan Scholarship provides up to $7,500 each semester for up to 8 consecutive semesters, workshops to learn important life skills not typically covered in the college curriculum, funds to purchase college essentials, an HSF Schwab Brokerage Account to manage, funds to study and travel abroad, and the opportunity to extend the Hagan Scholarship to obtain a graduate or profession degree.
The Hagan Scholarship is renewable for up to seven additional consecutive semesters if the recipient fulfills the scholarship criteria and mandatory workshop responsibilities. Funding of the Hagan Scholarship will cease upon graduation from college or after earning 130 credit hours, whichever first occurs. In such event, recipients will continue managing their HSF Schwab Account and fulfill all other scholarship criteria until their Award Year Class graduates college. To receive funding after graduation or after earning 130 credit hours, recipients must apply for and be awarded a Hagan Graduate Scholarship.
First year recipients receive $1,000 prior to college enrollment to purchase essential items for college not covered by the scholarship; items such as a computer, cell phone, clothing, office supplies, and bedding.
Second year recipients will open a Personal Schwab Brokerage Account. After the account is opened HSF will deposit $100 in the account and provide each recipient with an HSF Schwab Brokerage Account to manage until graduation. HSF funds managed by each recipient will be $10,000 the second year, $15,000 the third year, and $20,000 the fourth year.
Recipients must work 240 hours each year, from January 1 until commencement of the fall semester in college. Work can be performed at any time during this period of time at recipient discretion. Employment must be regularly scheduled work performed under supervision for compensation. DUE DECEMBER 1
