The Silicon Valley Community Foundation announced Monday it has awarded 394 scholarships totaling more than $1.7 million to students enrolled in high school, community college and university programs for the 2014-15 academic year.
A total of $1,790,744 in scholarship funds was awarded through a variety of programs administered by SVCF. Programs include 17 community foundation managed scholarships, the majority of which are designated for current or former residents of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, and more than two dozen donor involved scholarships, which have external selection committees that are appointed by the foundation and make awards throughout the nation and internationally.
This fall, recipients of scholarships will be attending colleges and universities nationwide, including San Jose State University, University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University Georgetown University and others.
