About this scholarship

Graduating high school seniors or graduates from San Mateo, San Francisco, or Santa Clara County, California, who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens with a maximum 3.3 GPA and demonstrated financial hardship may apply if they plan full-time enrollment at a two- or four-year college, university, or vocational school.

Scholarships of $10,000 support "late bloomers" who show academic promise and improvement during high school or early college but are unlikely to receive other scholarships because of lower GPAs. Community involvement is also considered.

The Ruppert Educational Grant Program was established by Ralph Hale Ruppert and Lenore Martha Ruppert in memory of their mothers.
