The Petaluma Educational Foundation (PEF) is proud to administer scholarship funds on behalf of generous donors, helping local students pursue their educational goals. Each fund has donor-established selection criteria, providing opportunities for students with a variety of interests, achievements, and future plans.

The PEF online scholarship application portal opens December 1, 2026, and closes January 20, 2027. 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. High School Seniors are encouraged to apply.

Eligible students planning to attend a two-year college, four-year university, or vocational training or trade program may apply for a variety of donor-funded scholarships through the PEF website.

Scholarship recipients will be celebrated at the PEF Scholarship Reception on April 28, 2027, at 7 p.m. in the Petaluma High School Gym.

PEF is committed to inspiring student success at every level and across all subject areas. Through scholarships and Impact Grants, PEF helps students explore their interests, continue their education, and prepare for their futures.
