Scholarships Available

Students Run Oakland wishes to thank the representatives from the East Bay College Fund who spoke to SRO’s students recently. The East Bay College Fund awards scholarships of $16,000 to resilient and deserving public high school seniors who come from backgrounds that are under-represented in higher education. For more information and to download an application, visit the website at http://www.eastbaycollegefund.org/. The 2007 application deadline is soon, so SRO seniors should contact the group as soon as possible to apply. Students also should talk to Spencer for information on this and other scholarship opportunities. In 2005, SRO participant Marvyn Arevalo Avalos (who was profiled in the documentary film about SRO, Runners High) was a recipient of an East Bay College Fund grant.
