Help Meet the Challenge!

The challenge of the Vallejo High Hope Scholarship Fund is to support academics at Vallejo High.

Currently, only 25 to 30% of Vallejo High students go directly to a 4 year college. The challenge increases because many students who do want to go to four year colleges and universities struggle financially to make this possible.

A Vallejo High story: A student was ranked in the top 20 of his class and had a 3.8 grade point average. Household finances required that he work while he went to school. With a single parent, he was often responsible for his younger siblings. Lack of financial resources and these family responsibilities made it impossible for this qualified student to attend a four-year college or university. Community college became his only option.

With financial aid available, Hope Fund support will actually become twofold: to provide financial assistance to hard-working, deserving students, and to motivate under-achieving but capable students to include college in their future.

You can help the Vallejo High Hope Scholarship Fund meet this challenge by joining us to raise $1,000,000. We know this seems like a very lofty goal, but we are looking for 2000 people to each contribute $500. We are calling this special group of donors “Club 2000.”

If necessary, this commitment can be fulfilled over five years. This amount and this approach allows people to give as little as $ 10 per month.

The funds collected are managed and invested by the Solano Community Foundation. To join Club 2000, send a check payable to the Solano Community Fund—Vallejo High Hope Fund (SCF—Hope Fund) to the Solano Community Fund, 1261 Travis Blvd, Suite 320, Fairfield, CA 94533. Or, click on the ‘donate’ button.

We can all make a difference for hard-working and motivated students whose only barrier to a high-quality university education is money.

$10 per month is a small sacrifice to make a huge difference.
