As you’ve probably noticed, most of our featured scholars plan to attend a college or university in California.

Some of these students prefer for various reasons to stay close to home.

Others are simply attracted to the lower tuitions for in-state students. Either way, donors to ScholarMatch should know that the tuition costs for many of the excellent schools chosen by our ScholarMatch students are still modest compared to private school costs.
