Local Scholarship Awards

Entrants must be a high school senior within the Murrieta or Temecula school districts and must be continuing their education after graduation. There will be Fifty (50) $1,000 scholarships which will be awarded at an awards ceremony at the end of the school year.

Entrants must first create a video explaining why you feel you should be awarded a $1,000 scholarship from GOScH Ford Temecula and upload it to a video sharing platform (ex: YouTube or Vimeo). Then each student must enter online at https://goschfordeducationfirst.com/local-scholarship-awards/ before March 1, 2019 to be in consideration for one of the scholarships. Only one application per student will be accepted, duplicate applications will be discarded.

After March 1, 2019, a panel of community judges will review all submissions and will choose the fifty (50) winners based on a variety of categories. The winners will be notified by email with their invitation to the awards ceremony.

GOScH Ford Temecula will be hosting the awards ceremony in late May 2019, where the winners of the scholarships will be recognized. All scholarship winner attendees of the ceremony will be entered into a raffle and one winner will be presented with an additional $3,000 scholarship ($4,000 total).
