The Kern County Science Foundation is awarding scholarships to deserving students who pursue a major in science, mathematics, engineering or other similar fields at an accredited college or university in the current school year. The amount of each scholarship award is set at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee of the Kern County Science Foundation.

Applicants should have participated in at least one Kern County Regional (or equivalent) Science Fair during their high school years. The scholarship application is available by clicking on the "KCSF Scholarship Application" button below.
