SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 2026-2027
This scholarship program is for children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren of paid CRA Contra Costa Chapter members. The selection criteria are based on academics, achievements, personal insights, and future goals. We have a team of judges made up of two Chapter board members, a CRA national representative, an HR retiree, and an educator. Based on prior year giving and the donation from the Graduates Committee, we anticipate awarding five scholarships for $2000 each for this academic year. The scholarship application will be available on the chapter website in late February.
We suggest that you encourage your children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren to apply for one of the scholarships. Applicants that meet the requirements below should apply by submitting their applications by email (preferred) by May 15, 2026.
Students may apply each year they are eligible, but those who have previously been awarded one of our scholarships 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 and 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.
We always appreciate your scholarship donations that you can make through Zelle, PayPal, or by check payable to Chevron Retirees Association, P.O. Box 371, Orinda, CA 94563. Since we started the program in 2005, we have awarded over $148,000 to scholarship recipients. We are so proud of all our scholarship recipients, and we are pleased that our members have supported our program. The individuals we support may be future Chevron leaders!
If you have any questions, you can send an email to scholarship@chevronretireescontracosta.org, or by calling Brad McCullough at (925) 348-6707.
