Fostering Better Lives Through Education

Assistance League of Sacramento awards scholarships to students attending community colleges in the Greater Sacramento area. Like many scholarship programs, our awards go to students with financial need and demonstrated ability, aptitude and a promise of a bright future. But, beyond those basic criteria, we seek to support students of any age who had and/or have life circumstances and challenges that are unusually difficult.

Initial scholarship winners are eligible to apply for Previous Recipient awards in subsequent years at community colleges and four-year institutions.

Scholarship awards are made in the spring of each year.

These scholarships are available.
