Since our earliest beginnings, the Ed Fund has managed a college scholarship program aimed at supporting low-income graduating seniors from the West Contra Costa Unified School District. Since 2005, over $1.6 million in scholarships have been awarded to over 690 deserving students. These scholarships not only alleviate financial burdens but also empower recipients to pursue their higher education aspirations with confidence. The Ed Fund remains steadfast in its mission to provide equitable opportunities for all students, ensuring their success in college, career, and life.

During the 2024–2025 school year, we were proud to continue supporting our students by offering five different scholarships to exceptional individuals who demonstrated academic excellence, leadership potential, and a commitment to serving their community:

  • The Contra Costa Chorale Vocal Music Studies Scholarship
  • Freggarrio Family Scholarship
  • Schroeder Family Foundation Scholarship
  • Ed Fund West General Scholarship
  • African American Scholarship

For any scholarship-related questions, please contact Sarah Camacho, Program Manager, at Sarah@edfundwest.org.
