Millions of dollars in scholarships are available to high school students. Here's how to get funding

"Public school students throughout Los Angeles County may be eligible for scholarship funding of up to $1,500 toward their higher education, trade school or other career programs. Unlike other scholarship programs, students are not required to submit an application, write an essay, meet a GPA requirement or provide recommendation letters."

"With only about a month left before graduation, eligible high school seniors across Los Angeles County still have time to claim scholarship funding worth up to $1,500 to pay for college, trade school or other education expenses. The scholarships are administered through the California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program under the state treasurer's office. It's an account program that was created in 2022 to make it easier for students and families to afford higher education and other career programs."

""These scholarships send a powerful message to families across our state: We believe in our young people, we are investing in their future, and we want every student to know that college or career training is within reach," California State Treasurer Fiona Ma said in a statement. Unlike many other scholarships, students are eligible for the funds without having to submit an essay, meet a minimum GPA or provide recommendation letters."

"In Los Angeles County, approximately 68% of public high school students are eligible for the scholarships, with more than $465 million in financial aid available countywide, according to program officials. Eligible public school students can receive one-time scholarships worth up to $1,500, while children born in California on or after July 1, 2022, may qualify for scholarship funds worth up to $175 that they can get when they reach college age."
