Beyond a one-time gift for the first year of college – Future Sacramento is a robust five-year resource backed scholarship that creates a long-term connection with each scholarship recipient.

First-in-family college students have more than the financial burden of college. The numerous obstacles faced by low-income students could derail them from achieving college success even before they begin their first day of class.

First-in-family college college students blaze a new path, charging forward without role models in their family who can guide them. Future Sacramento scholars are achieving their college dreams because of our donors support and the students’ tenacity and exceptional perseverance to overcome obstacles.
