Riverside

Career & College Bound

Providing Opportunity

Education is a powerful defense against poverty.

Our mission is to remove barriers to education for students struggling to balance life’s immediate needs while also pursuing their goal of a degree and a brighter future.  The American dream, while alive and well for some, can be just as elusive for others. The road to higher education, whether vocational or college, can be a hard, uphill climb, especially if you are economically disadvantaged. We provide high school students with SAT study guides, college scholarships, and financial aid for college visitation trips.

We provide scholarships to vocational and tech schools as well as 2- and 4-year colleges to graduating seniors facing economic challenges.

Career and College Bound scholarship applications can be obtained from your High School Counselor.

Mail all submissions for scholarships to:
Assistance League of Riverside
Attn: Career & College Bound Coordinator
3707 Sunnyside Drive
Riverside, CA  92506-2418

We believe our investment not only provides financial stability for our students but also strengthens the Riverside workforce, benefiting us all.

“I’ve always had a dream of becoming a software engineer and using my skills to create affordable online education for people from all backgrounds. After moving to the U.S. from Ethiopia, I received a scholarship from the Assistance League of Riverside to attend California State University, Fullerton. It hasn’t been an easy road, but now I’m well on my way to receiving my degree. Thank you!”
