Scholarship Opportunities

*Bay Area College Success Network Free Virtual College Application Advising For Bay Area Students*

ScholarMatch is accepting applications for a limited number of additional students to join our Virtual Destination College advising program. This program provides free, individualized high-touch virtual advising services to low-income high school seniors all across the country.

 

Students work 1:1 throughout the college application process with a highly trained volunteer college coach via text, phone call, video call and more. Coaches work with students on everything from college applications to FAFSA and CSS Profile submission, award letter review, scholarship applications, and more.

To apply, students must complete our interest form and demonstrate strong interest and commitment to this program. While we will consider any student who demonstrates a high-level of interest in this program, below is the profile of student we will prioritize:

                      

• Lives outside of San Francisco, and may not have access to other advising programs or college application support

• 4-year college bound (traditionally our virtual students have 3.0+ unweighted GPAs, but we value student interest and need above academic profile)

• Annual family income of less than $80,000  
• Would be the first in their family to attend a 4-year college

One of the many programs of the Federation is to offer college scholarships to further the education of students who achieve a total cumulative GPA (3 1/2 years) of at least 3.2 and meet all of the requirements in either #1 or #2:

1.) Are Roman Catholic & of Italian Descent & live within the Roman Catholic Dioceses of California, Illinois and Reno in Nevada, only where Branches of the Federation are established. or

2.) If either Roman Catholic parent, guardian or grandparent is a member of the Italian Catholic Federation, the student must be Roman Catholic but need not be of Italian Descent or live where Branches of the Federation are established - membership of a Roman Catholic parent, guardian or grandparent is mandatory for #2. A student cannot just meet the requirement of being a baptized Roman Catholic.
