Common questions

How many scholarships for California students are listed here?

18. Each one comes from ScholarDuck's own catalog and was checked against the provider's page for amount, deadline and eligibility. This is a slice of our catalog rather than a complete list of every award open to students in California — the count is ours, not an industry figure.

Do I have to live in California?

Every scholarship on this page names California in the residency eligibility ScholarDuck recorded, which is why it is grouped here. Providers set their own rules and some add conditions we do not list, such as attending school in the state — check each provider's page before you apply.

What is the largest scholarship listed here?

Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents (LEPD) Grant, offered by California Student Aid Commission (CSAC), at up to $14,934. That is the largest of the 18 awards on this page, not the largest that exists.

Which deadline on this page comes first?

September 2, 2026 — Student Success Completion Grant (SSCG). Deadlines here were recorded when this page was built and providers change them without notice, so confirm on the provider's own page.
