At the end of each school year, CASCWA's number one priority is to recognize graduating seniors who have overcome adversity and will be continuing with their education in the fall. The Coronavirus crisis has had an impact on our 2020 scholarship process. Specifically, each section was unable to have the normal application process and the end of the year ceremonies could not be held. Each section proceeded with scholarship selections. As we update the website, we will be adding information from each section on what they managed to deliver to these incredible students to help them as they proceed with their education and future plans. Student scholarships are given out each year by all four sections of CASCWA. Visit each section pages to learn more about the rich history of these scholarship programs. Each year, over $10,000 is given out statewide to students who have overcome adversity to graduate and our continuing with their education. |

CASCWA BAY SECTION SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION |
The students we want to recognize and honor are those who may have had to overcome lack of success early on due to personal or family problems, attendance or discipline issues. These students may have benefited from the intervention of a school counselor, community agency, or a child welfare and attendance worker.
Please help us to reach deserving students who are working against the odds to improve themselves. This may be a student who might not necessarily be attending a four-year college but attending a community college or a vocational program.
If anyone knows of a student who is deserving of this honor, please contact Bay Scholarship Chairperson, Janet McMurray at jmcmurray@wccusd.net for any additional scholarship program information.

The Anthony Brucia Success Awards are the heart of the San Joaquin section of CASCWA. They are named after a high school graduate who found success. CASCWA’s San Joaquin section is made up of Central California school professionals who work with students in areas of attendance, truancy or behavior matters. By providing cash awards and scholarships, we recognize those students who, through hard work and support, made the commitment and succeeded in improving their character. They “turned it around.” We urge school staff in comprehensive, alternative or charter schools to help identify and assist those students who are applying for these unique grants. For the students who win this award, it represents a belief in them, recognition of their achievements, and commitment to their future. The application and additional, highly useful application information can be found on the ANTHONY BRUCIA SUCCESS AWARDS page. Last year our San Joaquin Section's scholarship recipients were Araya Stone Bencoma of Big Pine HS, Abigail Halsey of Lemoore Middle College, Jose Romaldo of Parlier HS, Madeline May of Mesquite HS and Kyleigh Austin of Templeton HS. Each recipient received a $1,000 scholarship, and is eligible to receive $1,000/year for up to four years if they remain enrolled in school in good standing. We also gave each of the winners a $100 gift card to go out and celebrate their accomplishment in lieu of our inability to gather for our annual scholarship luncheon. Application due date for the 2020-21 Anthony Brucia Success Awards is April 9, 2021! |
