SCHOLARSHIPS
Finding scholarships and financial support for school is hard work. Finding any scholarship is a diffcult task, but finding one that is safe, secure, and won't send your private information to the military can be even more difficult. The Chico Peace & Justice Center wants to help you get in touch with the people and organizations that give thousands of young adults help in pursuing their college dreams.
