LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
We are working on confirming local scholarships being offered to students in the Lamorinda area, and will publish them in January when the details become available to us. We also get emails about small, independent scholarship opportunities that may only apply to a specific population (i.e. Italian heritage, military, etc.). We are keeping a notebook with those opportunities in the office if students want to come in and explore these one-off opportunities.
