Scholarships

The Sonora Area Foundation administers many scholarship funds that are awarded to graduating high school seniors as well as students attending Columbia College. Some scholarships were started by families or individuals; others by businesses or organizations. All scholarships share one important purpose: helping young people reach their post high school educational goals, whether that is attending college or a vocational/trade school.
