The 2025 Pedrozzi Scholarship applications are open. Livermore students pursuing college and career training are encouraged to apply. Scholarships will be awarded to help defray the costs of attending vocational training programs, community colleges, and universities. Eligible applicants must be graduates of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, and may be high school seniors, college students or older adults pursuing college degrees or career training certification.
Applications are accessed here and are due February 28, 2025.
Since 2008, the Pedrozzi Foundation has awarded over $6.6M to over 1,800 Livermore students.
The majority of scholarships are funded through the endowment established by Mario Pedrozzi and are awarded to eligible students without regard to a specific field of study. However, annually a number of scholarships are funded by generous community members and awarded to students who meet the Pedrozzi scholarship eligibility criteria and other criteria such as specific fields of study, proven leadership experiences, or other life experiences.
In addition to applying for a Pedrozzi Scholarship, the Foundation encourages all high school seniors to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application to access all federal, state and school aid for which they are eligible.
The 2025 scholarship awards will be at least $1,000 per year, up to a maximum of 4 years, depending on the scholarship.
A past recipient shared, “I work a minimum wage job. Due to my $4,000 Pedrozzi Scholarship, I spent hundreds of hours studying instead of working.”
