Good Tidings Community Service Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Good Tidings
The Good Tidings Foundation, a 501-(c)-3 non-profit organization, is dedicated to fostering the development of underprivileged children in the Bay Area. We achieve this by establishing environments conducive to sports, arts, education, and exploration.
Our mission is to offer opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible to children, irrespective of their financial circumstances, ethnic background, or religious beliefs. In 1999, we established an educational scholarship award for high school seniors who understand and appreciate the value of community service. Our scholarships are granted to those seniors who demonstrate the most significant service and financial need.
The scholarship amount of $10,000 will be distributed equally over a four-year period. The winners will be announced by November 25, 2025. We will select a total of 10 deserving applicants to receive this scholarship.
It's important to note that a recommendation letter is a prerequisite for your application submission. To be considered, recommendation letters must be submitted by the specified deadline.
