​

Your Passion. Your Path. Your Possibilities.

​

At the Sam Chase Foundation, we believe there is no single path to success.

​

Our scholarships are a little different. We look beyond grades, test scores, and traditional accomplishments. We're interested in who you are, what drives you, the challenges you've navigated, and what you're working toward.

​

Whether your next step involves college, trade school, specialized training, starting a business, purposeful travel, personal growth, or pursuing a passion, we want to help you move forward.

​

This scholarship is about perseverance, grit, and potential,  not perfection. You don't need to have your entire future figured out. You just need a desire to grow and the courage to take your next step.

​

Not sure if your dream qualifies? We encourage you to apply! We believe meaningful futures take many different forms, and sometimes a little support is all it takes to turn a possibility into a reality.

​

With the help of 11 dedicated volunteers, each application is thoughtfully reviewed using a consistent rubric that reflects our mission and values.

​

Over the past two years, SCF has awarded more than $74,000 in scholarships to young adults ages 18–26 in Siskiyou County and beyond.
