Paul Porter Memorial Scholarship
Applications are now available for the Paul Porter Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The Paul Porter Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the memory of former NCGA and Poppy Holding CEO Paul Porter. The scholarship will provide $5,000 in financial assistance to a deserving youth who will be attending a four-year college or university. The award is both merit-based and need-based. Please note – preference will be given to Monterey Peninsula-area students.
CRITERIA TO APPLY
Each applicant must be a high school senior enrolled as a full-time student in an accredited Northern California (NCGA boundaries) high school. Each applicant must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and plan on attending a four-year college or university during the fall of the same year the scholarship is awarded.
Hello, I am a senior at Monterey High School. After I graduate, I will be studying abroad through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program in Taiwan for one academic year. When I return fall 2009, I will enter Berkeley/UCLA/UCSD as a freshman. I have applied for several other scholarships, and for the ones I have won, they are willing to defer. Can I still apply for this scholarship? Thank you for your time.

The application requires that a copy of a letter of acceptance be included with the application, however, some colleges may not notify admitted students until after the deadline of March 30th. What should I do if the college i want to attend has not replied yet?
