POCKET, CA (MPG) - The Pocket Greenhaven Community Association (PGCA) is proud to announce that it will be offering $3,000 in scholarships this year. For the past two years, the group has awarded $1,000 in scholarships to two local students. 

This year, thanks to the generous matching contributions of community partner Parker Development and Councilmember Rick Jennings, the group will now be able to triple its award amount.

All graduating seniors attending high schools within the organization’s boundaries are eligible to apply. These hyperlocal scholarships will help first-year students and their families cover some of the costs of attendance to accredited colleges for the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year.

“The PGCA is so excited to be offering a scholarship to students in our community,” said Pocket Greenhaven Community Association Board President Katie Butler. 

“These grants align with our mission to enhance our community by supporting local. It is our hope that through continued partnerships with community groups and businesses, we will be able to continue to increase the amount of scholarship funds going to our high school seniors in future years.”
