Scholarships

Since its founding in 2009, The Marina Foundation has raised funds to provide scholarships to deserving Marina students. We facilitate both publicly- and privately funded scholarships, with over of $200,000 being awarded since 2010.

The Marina Foundation offers scholarship opportunities for graduating seniors – specifically for those attending Marina High School, and for graduating seniors residing in the City of Marina, who may be attending another high school in Monterey County. Each year, the Marina Founders (formally the Don Livermore), the Capt. Gordon R. Nakagawa, the Wight Family, the Timothy C. Wheelis Memorial, and the Roger Williams Memorial award scholarships to qualified graduating Marina High School seniors. The Jack Stewart College Scholarship is available to Marina High School and Monterey County Students Residing in Marina, and the Lenore Masterson Creative Arts Scholarship is available to Marina High School and MPUSD students residing in Marina. The scholarships are granted based on verification of school enrollment and give preference to those students with exceptional community service.

High school seniors can choose to apply for up to three scholarships using a “common” application for all scholarships. More information is available on each scholarship page.

The Common Application is available HERE or on their respective pages.
