BACKGROUND
On August 20, 2024, the City Manager received an email from Ms. Sara Marcellino of the Contra Costa College Foundation requesting a sponsorship in the amount of $5,000 for the Foundations’ San Pablo Forward Scholarship Program. The program provides scholarships for San Pablo residents who are transferring to a four-year university, have a GPA of at least 2.5, and studying any major.
The San Pablo Forward Scholarship (formerly the San Pablo Scholars Scholarship) will provide ten students each with a $1,000 scholarship. In addition to the criteria above, considerations could include: academic success, leadership roles, school involvement, participation in extra-curricular activities, community service, intended major/field of study/career path, financial need.
FISCAL IMPACT
A total of $30,000 has been budgeted for Event Annual Sponsorships for FY 2024-25 Annual Operating Budget under the City Council’s budget (100-1110-44050). If approved, the proposed sponsorship in the amount of $5,000 will be deducted from this expense balance leaving a remaining balance of $16,500 for the remainder of FY 2024-25 period for future sponsorships by the City Council.
