First Congregational Church of Pasadena, UCC Pasadena Area Women's Scholarship is available annually in the amount of $4500 or more for persons who identify as female and who are currently enrolled or planning to enroll by fall 2023 in a college or trade/technical school. We have awarded 38 scholarships over the past seven years. Our selection process is guided by our Core Values of: Nurturing Spirituality, Extravagant Welcome and Social Justice. We also work to serve the marginalized and educationally underserved in the greater Pasadena area. These values and vision will continue to guide our selection process. 2024 applications will be available on this website in early Spring 2024.

Congratulations to our 2023 Scholarship recipients! Each of them was awarded $5,000 towards their education.
