Funding Our Future

Scholarships for College Students

CFMC Scholarships Program allows us to support the success of Merced County youth through funds established to support educational expenses, including tuition, housing, books, supplies, and other educational fees. Awards are typically paid directly to the institution providing instruction.*

*At this time, we are not accepting scholarship applications. Please check back after January 1, 2026, to see if we have opened additional scholarship funding.

Eligible applicants are:

  • Graduating seniors of a Merced County High School.

  • Resident of Merced County.
