To be eligible, students must be a child, grandchild, step child, or step grandchild, of a RESDC member in good standing (as defined in our Bylaws).

The deadline to submit applications is Friday, March 1, 2019; applications postmarked after this date will not be considered. Final results will be communicated directly to individual participants at the beginning June.

We suggest that applicants start this process early and coordinate all references for a complete and timely submittal. Incomplete application packages will not be considered.

All RESDC Scholarship applicants are also eligible to apply for the Theo and Evelyn Yakel Scholarship, which is available through The San Diego Foundation. In 2018, The San Diego Foundation awarded $2.2 million in scholarships, making The Foundation the largest private non-university scholarship provider in San Diego County. To apply for The Yakel Scholarship, students should go to www.sdfoundation.org and fill out the Common Scholarship Application.

A document verifying that the student’s sponsor is a RESDC member must be uploaded when applying for the Yakel Scholarship through the Common Scholarship Application. Please call the RESDC office at (866) 688-9229 to obtain this signed document. The foundation will not accept an application without RESDC’s validation.

The filing period for the Yakel Scholarship closes on February 5, 2019 at 2:00pm; results are usually announced by June 1.
