The California Farmworker Foundation's Nueva Generación program supports students from California farmworker families as they pursue a university, community college, or career/technical program, with particular focus on Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, and Tulare counties in the San Joaquin Valley. The foundation has awarded more than $350,000 to 200-plus students since the program began, including 50 scholarships in 2025, with 10 recipients receiving recurring multi-year support; the exact dollar amount per award isn't published. Selection weighs academics, leadership, community service, and the applicant's personal story as a first-generation college student. The 2026 application window ran February 16 through May 3, 2026 and has closed; the foundation has not yet posted 2027 dates.
