SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR

Contra Costa Chapter’s scholarship program begins when the 2025 dues notice is sent out toward the end of the year. As in past years, the scholarships are for one academic year and awards will be based on grades, honors, extra-curricular activities essays and special circumstances. Our chapter Scholarship Committee with assistance from judges will determine the process for scholarship selections. For information about the 2024-2025 recipients: Luke Brightbill, Jordan Go, Amelia Hoyle, Kristen Jang, Sarah McClelland, and Lily Woodhead, along with their goals and aspirations, see the link below (2024-2025).

The Scholarship Application will be available in January, 2025.
Students may apply each year they are eligible, but those who have previously been awarded a scholarship by our organization are not eligible to reapply. The criteria for eligibility are:

Be a child, grandchild or great grandchild of a dues-paying member of the chapter.
Be age 25 or under.
Be enrolled, or plan to be enrolled, in the coming school year in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two or four-year college or university.
Winners need to take and use the scholarship in the school year awarded.
Submit your scholarship application NO LATER THAN MAY 15, 2025.

The Board of Directors will approve the scholarship amount for each scholarship and the number of scholarships at their April 2025 meeting. We started the program in 2005 and we have been able to give out 89 scholarships, totaling over $144,000. We appreciate your generosity and support of this program and hope you will add some additional money with your dues payment when the dues notice is sent out. The individuals we support may be future leaders of Chevron and could be goodwill ambassadors for Chevron at their universities and in the future. If you want to send in a check for the 2025-2026 scholarship program now, you are welcome to do by sending your contribution to Chevron Retirees Assn., P.O. Box 371, Orinda CA 94563.
