Kern Community Foundation Scholarships (Bakersfield, CA)

Kern Community Foundation runs one online application that matches graduating Kern County high school seniors to more than two dozen individual scholarship funds at once, instead of requiring a separate application for each. A 2.0 GPA covers most of the funds, though some — including agriculture, STEM, and faith-specific funds — set a higher 3.0 GPA or other added criteria. Recipients also join the Foundation's College Success Program for ongoing academic and financial-aid advising.

Eligibility
