San Pablo, CA – The City of San Pablo, in collaboration with the San Pablo Economic Development Corporation, is excited to announce the launch of the San Pablo Scholarship PIlot Program for 2025, designed to provide financial support to residents pursuing post-high school education and career technical training.
The scholarship aims to empower San Pablo youth under the age of 24 with the resources they need to succeed in higher education and vocational training. This is the third year of the pilot program’s implementation.
The San Pablo Scholarship Pilot Program, funded by the City of San Pablo’s General Fund, offers scholarships to students who are residents within the City’s incorporated boundaries. The program is designed to help ease the financial burden of education and career training and provide financial empowerment classes, paid credit union membership, food security resources, and valuable coaching and networking opportunities.
“The San Pablo Scholarship is a vital resource for our community, and we are excited to see the impact the public funds have on the lives of our youth, empowering them to create brighter futures,” said Paola Cubias-Shirazi, Community Services Coordinator II.
The scholarship application asks students to share their goals and future plans, providing the Selection Committee with insight into how the funds will support their post-secondary ambitions. Proof of age and residency in incorporated San Pablo is required for all applicants.
“We have a collaborative team to support the City of San Pablo youth pursue their career ambitions and break through barriers to opportunity. We’ll help you do it with financial savvy so that you start a career with no to low debt and keep more of your earnings working for you,” added Leslay Choy, Executive Director, San Pablo EDC.
