The Petaluma Educational Foundation (PEF) is proud to administer scholarship funds on behalf of generous donors who provide clear selection criteria for student recipients. In April 2025, PEF awarded 446 scholarships totaling $300,020 to 276 students from the Class of 2025. Since the program’s inception in 1990, PEF has distributed an impressive $5,149,277 in scholarships to local students.
The PEF online scholarship application portal opens December 1, 2025, and closes January 21, 2026. All graduating seniors from the seven Petaluma-area high schools (Petaluma High, Casa Grande High, St. Vincent High, San Antonio High, Sonoma Mountain High, Carpe Diem High, and Valley Oaks High) are encouraged to apply. Eligible students planning to pursue further education at 2-year colleges, 4-year universities, or vocational training/trade programs may submit applications through the PEF website for a variety of donor-funded financial awards. Scholarship recipients will be announced in Spring 2026.
PEF is committed to inspiring student success at every level, across all subject areas. Through scholarships and grant opportunities, PEF helps unlock the potential of young minds, nurturing future innovators, community leaders, and workforce contributors.
