Rossmoor Foundation Scholarship

The Rossmoor Scholarship Foundation (RSF) is a volunteer organization of residents of Rossmoor, a senior community in Walnut Creek, California. Each year the foundation awards scholarships to help outstanding local students continue their education.

• Awarded to students with significant financial need, academic achievement, and noteworthy extracurricular activities and work experience
• A committee of RSF Board members will review the applicant’s SAI (student aid index), school transcript (GPA), extracurricular activities, work experience, personal essay, and letter(s) of recommendation
• The committee will interview the applicant in person or via Zoom

Requirements:

• Must be a student at Los Medanos College (LMC) or Diablo Valley College (DVC)
• Must file a FAFSA or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) and have a student aid index (SAI) of no more than $32,000

• To receive your scholarship funds, you must be enrolled in the fall semester for at least 12 credits at a 4-year accredited institution or vocational training school.

In addition to applying for a $4,000 Rossmoor Scholarship, an applicant may also apply for add-on awards. These awards are $2,500 each and significantly increases the total scholarship amount received from RSF. An applicant may apply for one or more awards, but each award requires a separate essay.
