Foundation Scholarships

Review scholarship guidelines. Application is available November 1, deadline February 1

Redlands Foundation scholarships are awarded based on specific criteria set forth within each scholarship’s guidelines. Scholarships are available to new and current students as well as to students graduating and transferring to a four-year university. We use a single online application for Foundation scholarships, and you will be prompted to apply for specific scholarships based on your eligibility. The online application is available November 1, and the deadline for most scholarships is February 1. The deadline for Nursing scholarships is May 31.

Concurrent Enrollment Scholarships

The 2025 Spring application will open November 1 and will close once the maximum number of awards has been allocated .  

High school juniors and seniors are able to take college courses tuition free, but they are still responsible for fees associated with the classes. The Redlands Foundation has established a scholarship to help cover the costs associated with concurrent classes which could allow these students to take completely FREE classes.* Scholarships are available each semester, so apply today! 

*The scholarship does not cover the cost of textbooks or course materials.
