The Marie A Calderilla Scholarship is designed for graduating high school seniors, re-entry students, or current community college students planning to attend or attending a college in the San Mateo County Community College District. The scholarship aims to support women in pursuing education by providing up to $25,000 over five years, with a maximum of $5,000 per year. It is transferrable to a four-year California public college. The scholarship was established in 2007 through a gift from Marie A. Calderilla, focusing on enabling women to pursue education despite financial constraints. The selection committee looks for academic promise, commitment to completing a degree or certificate program, and personal characteristics such as honesty, good judgment, and perseverance.
