The 2026 Pedrozzi Scholarship applications are now open. Livermore students pursuing college and career training are encouraged to apply. 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 can be accessed here and are due February 27th, 2026 at 5pm.
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 who are pursuing specific fields of study.
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 Pedrozzi Scholarship for 2026 provides at least $1,000 per year, renewable for up to four years. This includes the new Transfer Pathway Scholarship. Since many students begin their studies at community colleges, those who apply through the Community College Scholarship Application and plan to transfer to a university for their bachelor’s degree are eligible for scholarships that support their education at both schools.
