California Scholarships
I realize California scholarships may seem elusive at times, but take heart - there
are plenty of scholarships out there for California residents. When you conduct
a free college scholarship
search at Scholarships.com, you can find information about myriad
financial aid opportunities that can more than cover your college expenses.
Using your location as a search criterion, Scholarships.com can help you find awards
restricted to students living or attending a college in your state. The California
scholarships below will give you an idea of the financial aid information you can
find at Scholarships.com. For additional information about scholarships and grants
you qualify for based on state and additional criteria, you can conduct a free college

The Achievement Award is a scholarship program for students with extreme financial
need who have demonstrated high potential by achieving academic success while overcoming
difficult circumstances. Scholarship applicants must demonstrate enthusiasm and
commitment to helping pre-collegiate students in college preparation programs. TAAP
provides financial support and one-on-one advising to all of its recipients. If
you have applied to UC Berkeley for fall admission you may be eligible to apply
for the Achievement Award, a scholarship worth up to $5,700 per year.
