Good Tidings Community Service Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Good Tidings
Shaping Tomorrow's Leaders
The Good Tidings Foundation, a 501-(c)-3 non-profit organization dedicated to children's welfare, is committed to fostering the development of underprivileged children in the Bay Area. We achieve this by establishing environments conducive to sports, arts, education, and exploration.
We aim to offer opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible to children, irrespective of their financial situation, ethnic background, or religious beliefs. In 1999, we established an educational scholarship award for high school seniors who understand the value of community service. Our scholarships are granted to those seniors who demonstrate the most significant service and financial need.
The scholarship amount of $10,000 will be distributed equally over a period of 4 years. The winners will be announced by November 25, 2025. A total of 10 deserving applicants will be chosen to receive this scholarship.
It's important to note that a recommendation letter is a prerequisite for application submission. The letter must be submitted by the deadline for your application to be eligible for consideration.
